Lazy Yak
Lazy Yak is the mid-strength member of the Yak range, launched as a lighter take on the Australian pale ale. Cascade from the Yakima Valley goes in early for a gentle bitterness, while late additions of Citra and Nelson Sauvin bring citrus, light passionfruit and a wine-like note of white grape. The grist is entirely Australian pale malt, which leaves a soft, slightly sweet malt flavour behind a light and refreshing finish.
