Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Wild Yak
◎ Appearance
Wild Yak presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that shows good lacing as the glass empties. The beer displays vibrant carbonation, with steady streams of small bubbles rising through the bright, translucent body.
◌ Aroma
The nose is dominated by tropical stone fruit and citrus notes, with Melba and Galaxy hops delivering prominent melon and passionfruit character. Cascade hops contribute a lighter, brighter citrus layer, while the wheat and pale malt base adds subtle sweetness without overwhelming the delicate hop-forward profile.
◐ Taste
The palate opens soft and approachable, with melon and passionfruit flavors immediately present, followed by subtle pineapple notes from the Galaxy hop. Bitterness remains restrained at 15 IBU, allowing the fruity character to shine, while the wheat malt contributes a light, dry body that prevents any heaviness.
◑ Finish
The finish is soft, dry and clean, with lingering citrus notes that fade gracefully. The low alcohol and restrained bitterness leave a refreshing aftertaste without astringency.
Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of Wild Yak
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
