Wild Yak
Wild Yak first appeared at the Great Australian Beer Spectacular and became the third beer of the Yak range. Australian Melba and Galaxy hops give it a tropical fruit aroma, while Cascade adds lighter citrus notes on top. A grist of pale and wheat malt keeps the body light and the bitterness low. Melon and passionfruit carry through to the palate, with a hint of pineapple from the Galaxy hop, and the beer finishes soft, crisp and dry.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for 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.
