Yakka NEIPA

Tap to rate

Hazy, tropical and a touch sweet: fruity, exotic and floral on the nose, juicy and silky in the mouth, with a bitter edge and a citrusy streak. Mosaic, Citra, Ekuanot and Galaxy carry the hop load, on a malt bill built from several cereals. The brewery promises rainbows on the palate. The beer contains gluten and lactose.

Pale golden with a pronounced haze from yeast and hop particles suspended throughout the body. The dense, pillowy head dissipates gradually, leaving delicate trails of lacing on the glass. Bright carbonation rises steadily from the base.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and silky with juicy stone fruit and citrus zest. The mid-palate shows honeyed sweetness balanced by a persistent, clean bitterness that carries citric acidity through to the finish. The malt backbone — built from multiple grains — provides gentle body without weight.

◑ Finish

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.
