This mostly clean and clear golden ale some out the gate with some nice citrus notes that are quickly followed by a more intense floral profile. The citrus really takes a backseat for the mostly the rest of the beer at this point. There is a light honey sweetness that meets you halfway before everything vanishes. Seriously. The entire flavor profile of the beer goes *poof* for a second before the Yuzu citrus flashes back for a brief moment in the finish. This is a weird beer. It’s super light and, I guess refreshing due to the citrus. But the citrus is fleeting and the honey floral notes that really carry the beer are similarly light. Don’t come here if really looking for a Yuzu showcase, but for a light afternoon thirst quencher, it does an alright job.
