Mahanakhon White IPA

Tap to rate

A hybrid of wheat beer and IPA, and the brand's best-known can. Wheat in the grist softens the body and adds a touch of sweetness, while a heavy whirlpool charge of Centennial and a generous dry hop build the hop character. Orange peel and coriander go in at the end, as in a wit. Pine resin and tropical fruit lead the aroma, with grapefruit and orange zest behind. The body is light, and a firm bitterness closes on citrus peel and a hint of spice.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and slightly sweet from the wheat, then transitions into a firm, clean bitterness centred on citrus peel. Mid-palate shows balanced tropical and pine hop character without harshness. The finish dries quickly with a whisper of coriander spice and lingering citrus bite.
