Yeah Tea

Tap to rate

Cold-steeped Ceylon tea weaves bright lemon citrus and spiced wood into a sticky, thick, chewy triple IPA at 10%, its honey-like undertones sweetening the body. A huge dry hop of Loral, floral, herbal and slightly citrussy, and Motueka, with lemon-lime, tropical fruit and a herbal punch akin to basil and rosemary, lifts the citrus. It is the tea twin of Yeah Bro.

◐ Taste

Entry is full and sticky, with citrus leading into a thick, chewy mid-palate where honey and tropical fruit (lemon-lime) develop alongside a pronounced herbal punch. The 90 IBUs arrive as a dry, resinous bitterness that neither dominates nor recedes, anchored by the beer's 10% ABV, which adds a gentle warmth and subtle boozy character without harshness. Spiced wood and piney undertones weave through, maintaining tension between sweetness and bitterness.

◑ Finish

The finish extends with lingering citrus and herbal notes, the bitterness holding through to the final swallow. Residual honey and warmth from the alcohol persist gently in the aftertaste, leaving the palate dry yet subtly sweet.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

About Triple IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Triple IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.

Finding a similar Triple IPA

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same citrusy, herbal, hoppy character as Yeah Tea will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
