Luckily, we’re not short of ramen-heads in the office and to top it off we knew there were two more of New York’s biggest ramen fans heading into Leeds at just the right time; Kevin and Basil of Finback Brewery. We dropped them a line and set about putting together this yuzu IPA, a fruit synonymous with this Asian cuisine.
To complement the sharp, zesty nature of the fruit we wanted a base which was fluffy and rounded but still light enough to contribute to a refreshing drink. We went with pilsner malt and a large portion of wheat, backing them up with small portions of flaked wheat and oats for the base. The idea behind this was to put together
a malt profile reminiscent of the Wit-style but that still had all the soft character that would be expected of a Northern Monk - Finback IPA.
We fermented with our house IPA strain and added yuzu juice at the back end. Finally, we dry-hopped with Citra and Mosaic, generously but not high enough to mask the unique flavour of yuzu.

Can from Cotteridge Wines. Poured a slightly hazy golden straw colour with a big, fizzy, white head and plenty of bubbles. The aroma is big zesty yuzu, light mineral. The flavour is light sweet and sour, with a fresh, crisp, light tart, juicy yuzu fruit palate. Medium bodied with lively carbonation.

10 August 2019. At Belgian Beer Geek Tasting. Cheers to the crew, thanks for hosting, Tim! Hazy yellow, lasting, thick, frothy, white head. Aroma of lemon, physalis, mandarin, wheat, yellow apple, white bread. Taste is light fruity sweet, hints of mandarin & apple over sourish lemon & wheat, supportive bready malt for bitter grass, pepper & herbs. Dryish, florla hoppy finish, more yellow fruit, zest & wheat. Medium body, slick-fluffy texture, soft carbonation. Strikes a good balance in the taste, better than in the aroma.
