Danger Pay

Yukon Brewing
Canada·Double IPA
Tap to rate

A double IPA with a deep malt base holding up an intense hop load, yet staying at medium weight. Cascade, Citra, Centennial and Motueka give a bright, zesty bouquet of grapefruit, lime and tangerine with a floral lift. On the palate the citrus turns firmer and more resinous over light caramel malt, and the bitterness builds steadily from glass to glass instead of hitting at once. The finish is dry and clean, with the alcohol barely showing.

◌ Aroma

A vibrant bouquet of citrus and floral elements rises from the glass. Cascade, Citra, Centennial and Motueka hops deliver bright notes of grapefruit, lime and tangerine with a distinct herbal lift. Beneath lies a supporting malt foundation without dominating the hop-forward character.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with crisp citrus that firms into a resinous character over light caramel malt sweetness. Bitterness develops progressively throughout the tasting, building incrementally rather than asserting itself immediately, creating a layered drinking experience. The 8% alcohol remains well-integrated and unobtrusive.

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.
