Yankee White IPA

Tap to rate

Yankee crosses an American IPA with a Belgian witbier. Wheat and oats sit next to lager malt in the grist, fermentation runs on a Belgian wit yeast, and orange peel goes into the brew. Citrus and peach lead both aroma and flavour, with a light spice from the yeast underneath. The body is soft and the mouthfeel light, the bitterness medium, the finish crisp. In the range since 2015, it is one of the oldest beers still in the core line-up.

Pale golden in color with good clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with visible lacing. The carbonation is lively, producing a steady stream of fine bubbles that maintain the foam structure throughout the tasting.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus and stone fruit notes, particularly peach and orange, reflecting both the hop selection and the added orange peel. Beneath these sits a subtle spice character from the Belgian wit yeast, with a soft grain backdrop from the wheat and oat bill.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and crisp, with citrus and peach flavors building on the palate alongside the orange peel character. The medium bitterness arrives gradually and remains balanced rather than aggressive, while the soft body and light mouthfeel prevent any heaviness, allowing the fruit and spice notes to remain prominent.

Serve at 8–11°C

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

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.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.

About IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.

Finding a similar IPA

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same peach, citrusy, crisp character as Yankee White IPA will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
