Yakimaniac IPA

◎ Appearance

Light amber to golden hue with bright clarity and excellent transparency. A dense, cream-colored head forms quickly and clings persistently to the glass walls, indicating strong protein content and carbonation. Lively bubble streams rise steadily through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose bursts immediately with ripe tropical fruit—orange zest, passionfruit, mango, and papaya dominate the top notes. Beneath lies a subtle herbaceous layer of lemongrass and green herbal tones from Columbus and Centennial hops. Bright citrus undertones weave through, with minimal malt presence in the background.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with juicy stone and tropical fruit flavors that fill the mouth immediately. Mid-palate bitterness from the 68 IBU hop bill arrives with clean structure, balancing the fruity sweetness without harshness. The finish maintains herbal and citrus notes with moderate resinous bite, while the underlying pale malz provides just enough body to support the aggressive hop presence.

◑ Finish

Medium to long finish with lingering citrus and herbal notes that fade gradually. The bitterness recedes smoothly, leaving a crisp, dry aftertaste that invites the next sip.
