San Miguel Yakima Valley
Intense in flavour, with a tropical and citrus edge from hops grown in Yakima, USA. San Miguel presents this IPA as a restless look at the IPAs of today. It was launched in 2020 as the brand's first Indian Pale Ale, brewed with hops from the Yakima valley, a hop region the brand's history calls a mecca for curious brewers.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for San Miguel Yakima Valley
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
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.
