JPA (Japanese Pale Ale)
The labels put the ingredients in focus to clearly understand the natural Japanese beauty in the glass.
This JPA from COEDO is brewed with rice and Yuzu from Japan has a delicate, citrusy aroma of Yuzu paired with the fragrant aroma of hops. With the contrast of its golden hues and white head, the use of Japanese rice delivers a crisp dry finish to this beer. Please enjoy the beautiful balance of flavour in this exotic brew.

Malts: Pilsner, Cara MunichT-2, Munich,Sauer

Plenty of yuzu for sure. Some perfume, makes the rice come off almost as jasmine rice though I know it's probably not. Hazy golden pour with super fizzy head. Different. Bottle. UT.

330ml bottle from Taps Beer Bar, Changkat, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a slightly hazy golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light floral hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a fresh, crisp, herbal, subtle yuzu, light spicy, floral hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Slight haze, thick head. Aroma mixes hops with candyish yuzu. Medium bitterness, light bready pale malt, and a splash of incongruous yuzu. I suppose the citrus masks the lack of lupulistic brightness, but that'�s not a strong argument in its favour.

Bottle. Clear gold with an inch of white head. Sheets of bubbles. Lots of citrus in the aroma - yes, yuzu, but also grapefruit, lime, mandarin - also some crackers. Light but soft texture despite high carbonation. Complex citrus flavours, somewhat sweet with a dryish but barely bitter finish.
