Yakkapale

Tap to rate

Golden, flavourful and generously hopped: fruity, floral and herbal, and very aromatic. Yakkapale comes from the Yakka brewery in the Murcia huerta, which has brewed its own brand since 2009 and aims for beers that are neither filtered nor pasteurised. The blurb leans on the hops with a promise of a brutal aroma.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with clean, crisp hop flavors balanced against a subtle malty foundation that grounds the beer without overwhelming it. Mid-palate brings forward layers of citrus and herbal notes, with a building bitterness that resolves into a dry, resinous finish on the tongue. The 30 IBU provides sufficient bite without aggression, and the 5.1% ABV keeps the beer refreshing and sessionable.
