First brewed in 2006, before the days of this whole IPA craze. The name Yippee IPA actually existed before the beer was ever brewed. We knew we needed a solid IPA to back that solid name, and thus Picaroons’ first entry into the IPA world was born.

Bottle @ Home. Pours dark amber with a offwhite head. Aroma of sweet malt, caramel, lots of grassy hops, some pine. Taste is malt, caramel, grassy, pine, bitter orangepeel. Medium body, soft carbonation, nice lasting bitter finish. Not overly hopped but a pretty nice IPA. 250811

Bought this one in Edmonston, N.B. when I was on tour with my band (summer of 2009). This East Coast IPA creates a huge off-white head that is creamy and has a bit of the cascade effect. Very long lasting, creating an even thick lace all-around. Its colour is amber-orange and carbonation has some of the tiniest bubbles I have ever seen coming up very slowly. Quite a nice looking beer ! The hop is quite present in the aroma with some citrus notes. Medium light bodied with not much stick to it. A nice hoppy taste that is moderately bitter like an IPA should be, but not overly (so might not appeal to hopheads). In the second pour, the carbonation is extremely active with still small bubbles, but not as tiny as before. This time, the head does not seem to come down. I would have to say that this is an awesome IPA that is in the middle of them all, which has amazing drinkability, and is not too strong, not too weak. It definitely puts Keith’s IPA to shame for an East Coast one. Yippee !!

Golden-amber colour. Earthy, herbal (mint) aroma. Fairly earthy, caramelly body is quite minerally. More English Pale but it’s a pretty nice example.
