We’ve brewed a beer to celebrate the birthday of Ibuki, Gaz & Meiko’s daughter since before we had a brewery. She’s 11 this year and we’ve made a sweet and sassy Sour IPA with the returning cast of Yuzu & Sorachi Ace bringing the juice. Kanpai!

Can. Not sure how this differs from other versions of this brew. It remains a Sorachi and Yuzu IPA. A mild haze on this orange gold beer, small but tidy pale cream colour head. Light smooth palate, decent fine carbonation coming through on the back end. Light smooth pale malts, a pleasant light creamy sweetness. Lovely lovely lovely Sorachi Ace hops, delightful light ripe lemon, very slightly herby. Yuzu brings that wonderfully unique citrus vibe and marries with the Sorachi very well indeed. Light finish leaves a lovely Sorachi tangy citrus linger. Said it before and I will say it again - whoever came up with this idea - genius.

440ml can. Hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma of yuzu, lemon, lychee, melon. Taste is somewhat sweet, lychee, papaya, yuzu, lemon, slightly herbal, sweet and sour but not too much of either. Medium bodied. Very nice, always love yuzu in an IPA.
