Azacca IPA

Yukon Brewing
Tap to rate
🌍 Canada · IPA · One of 77 IPAs in hopIQ

A single-hop IPA built on Azacca. The nose is zesty and sharp with grapefruit, orange peel and mango, and a resinous pine note runs underneath it. A lean cracker-malt base keeps the beer crisp rather than sweet, and the bitterness is firm and clean through to a dry finish. Medium-light in body, with the citrus holding on after the swallow.

Aroma

The nose leads with sharp, zesty citrus—grapefruit and orange peel dominate the top note, with tropical mango adding depth. A resinous pine character threads underneath, grounding the fruity brightness without overwhelming it. The overall impression is clean and herbaceous rather than sweet or floral.

Taste

Entry is crisp and dry, with the lean cracker-malt base providing structure without sweetness. Citrus and resinous pine develop through the mid-palate, supported by a firm, clean bitterness. The finish is dry and persistent, with citrus notes lingering well after the swallow.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Azacca IPA

Serve at 8–11°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

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

Tulip glass
Recommended for this style

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 citrusy, resinous, dry character as Azacca IPA will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
