Yippy IPA

Tap to rate

An American-style IPA with a golden, lightly opalescent look. Lemon and grapefruit zest lead, joined by a juicy citrus fruitiness from Cascade, Amarillo, Mosaic and Citra, while Nugget and Centennial add a subtle, fresh pine spice. The body is light yet chewy, built on ale, wheat, dextrin, oat and Vienna malts, and the bitterness stays restrained, leaving a tingle on the palate.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant citrus zest—fresh lemon and grapefruit pith—followed by a juicy tropical fruitiness characteristic of Mosaic and Citra hops. Beneath the bright top notes, Cascade and Amarillo contribute additional citrus depth, while Nugget and Centennial introduce a subtle herbaceous pine spice that grounds the profile without overwhelming.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and fruity, with the citrus character from the aroma carrying through cleanly onto the palate. The mid-palate shows a light yet chewy body built from ale, wheat, dextrin, oat and Vienna malts, which provide a subtle sweetness and creamy texture that balances the hop expression. Bitterness remains restrained at 30 IBU, appearing as a gentle herbal tingle rather than assertive bite, allowing the fruit and malt to coexist harmoniously.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
