Young Henrys IPA

Tap to rate

A West Coast IPA in the Australian reading, brewed with Cascade, Centennial, Chinook and Citra Lupomax over pale, Munich, Carahell and wheat malt. Resinous pine and citrus dominate the aroma, a firm bitterness at 45 IBU runs underneath, and the dry finish keeps the six per cent body from turning heavy. The malt bill leaves a light biscuit note below the hops.

◌ Aroma

Resinous pine and citrus notes dominate the nose, characteristic of the Cascade, Centennial, and Citra Lupomax hop blend. The Chinook contributes depth to the pine character, while the pale and Munich malts provide a subtle biscuit undertone that grounds the aromatic profile without competing.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with focused hop bitterness at 45 IBU, delivering a firm but balanced bite that avoids harshness. Mid-palate reveals the citrus and resinous qualities promised on the nose, layered over a light bready note from the wheat malt. The dry finish prevents any sweetness from lingering, keeping the 6% ABV body lean and refreshing.

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.
