(Can) Pours clear pale golden yellow with big loose white head. Aroma of yuzu with a herbal hint. Light body with a lot of soft loose carbonation. Taste of lemon and yuzu at the start. Very light bread malt in the middle. Grassy herbal hops with a rather harsh bitter in the finish. It’s ok.

From a 375ml can on 20/12/2025. Pours a clear golden with a massive head that disappeared reasonably quickly.The nose is downright odd. A touch of citrus, fridge and vomit. The taste is more conventional. The yuzu is light but noticeable in an easy drinking package. Light bodied with moderate carbonation. Refreshing enough and there's a bit to pique the interest to get more than a pass mark.

14/10/2022. Can from Beer Cartel. Pours clear pale yellow gold with a frothy white head. Aroma is sweet lemon, citrus, grass, flowers, biscuit, light yuzu. Quite sweet with light bitterness and minimal tartness. Light body, watery, fizzy. Very subtle, not bad, but lacking what I was expecting from the other yuzu beers I’ve tried.

Draft at Heart of Darkness, Singapore. Poured a clear golden colour with a thin white head and some broken lace. The aroma is malt, light yuzu. The flavour is light bitter, with a crisp, herbal, light yuzu fruit, mineral, light woody hop bitter palate. Medium theart darkness singao light bodied with average carbonation.

Yuzu is mild, slightly herbal—basil? Not one I’d drink again. LCI Ftiday

Can from Beer Cartel and #ratebeersupertasters. Golden. Crackers and soap aroma. That soapiness is the predominant flavour unfortunately too. Sweet, lemony but ultimate more like airfreshener than lager. Maybe I don't like Yuzus after all?

330ml can into schooner glass. Thanks to Ratebeer and Beer Cartel. Pale yellow beer with a two finger frothy head. Light carbonation. Nose of slightly spicy sweet fruit. Light thin body, tiny touch of bitterness. Light finish with touches of pithy fruit. Super easy drinking lager with some interesting subtle flavour.

500ml bottle. Pours yellow gold. Soap, lemon peel, honey, floral, soapy citrus. Aroma a lot cleaner than the flavour. Nice idea and executed pretty well.
