We’ve always celebrated brewing milestones with amped-up versions of our favourite flagship beers. This time Yu Lu gets the treatment, as our delicate loose leaf pale ale is now a fully fledged IPA! Big hitting citrus and fruity hops lead the charge, followed up with Earl Grey tea and bergamot notes echoing the quintessential Yu Lu flavours.

On tap at Hop Stuff Taproom Ashford. Hazy amber colour lasting cream head. Some earl Grey type tea. Some grapefruit on the aroma. Decent enough ipa in the mouth. Wide mouthfeel. Good hop. The tea is fine a litter tannin. Decent.

Bottle at home, 08/07/18. Lightly hazed orange golden with a decent off white cap that retains well. Nose is floral, lime leaf, yuzu, citric tinged straw, grassy, lemon wedge, tangerine. Taste comprises orange pith, yuzu, early grey evident, lemon rind, airy malts, tangy citric peel, lime juice. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with juicy to leafy hop bitterness. Ok IPA ... gets the message across well but a touch too perfumed for my liking.
