Fat Yak
Fat Yak is the flagship of the Yak range and is modelled on the North American pale ale. American Cascade hops lead the hop bill, with a small share of New Zealand Nelson Sauvin. It pours golden and opens with fruity, herbaceous aromas of passionfruit and melon, backed by citrus and a grassy edge. A lightly toasted malt base with a hint of caramel carries a mild bitterness into a clean finish, where the hop flavour lingers for a while.
