Review based on the BJCP2015 (style 30A). Bottle 33 cl - Batch T2. AROMA: predominant vegetal/grassy aroma with a sulphury note (DMS). slight malty bready background. no green tea nor citrus aromas. APPERANCE: pale gold color and slightly hazy. medium-low white head with low retention. TASTE: medium DMS flavor with a slight malty background. green tea not very perceptible. medium-low bitterness with a semi-dry finish. PALATE: low body with medium-low carbonation. OVERALL: an odd brew without notes associated with the declared ingredients.

A little arange juice aroma. Small and short head. Hazy amber. A little sweet and again, taste like diluted orange juice. No bitterness. Low carbonation. Thin finish. It is a good beer for one that is not used to strong beers though.

Hazy yellow with some OK head. Smells like grass, citrus and a bit like a wheat beer. The taste follows through, with bread, banana, some citrus and also some other spices that I can’t identify. However, the taste is quite bland, and after 2-3 sips, you can’t identify most flavours.

Bottle@Magasasa, Amagerbrogade, Copenhagen - pours yellow with a small white head. Aroma and taste is light citric fruity and grassy hoppy, some very light subtle green tea notes, light body, not allot going on really, but went down well with the excellent food this place serves up.

330ml bottle from Wagamama, Harrogate. Served chilled. Hazy yellow amber colour, shortlived white foam head and aroma of malt, grain, citrusy, green tea, ginger. Taste is malt, grain, biscuit, notes of ginger, yuzu citrus and green tea, with light bitterness. Thin mouthfeel, light bodied, medium to high carbonation, tangy grainy finish. OK

Yuzu and green tea flavoured organic beer from Japan. Creamy, stable, egg-white, dense head over a cloudy peach blonde beer. Aroma is a bit lightstruck but this fades away quickly, after which impressions of corn, orange peel (which I suppose represents the yuzu), indeed some green tea, grape, peach, soap and grass appear. Fruity, crisp onset, soft carbo, hints of peach, orange and some bubblegum, cornish slickness, resiny green tea effect but more in terms of mouthfeel than in terms of actual taste, soft bready malt sweetishness, light body, finishing with a very light, earthy bitterness and lingering, almost sugary sweetness, but fortunately not cloying; the green tea appears retronasally. Not my taste, more of a gimmick than a serious beer.
