Plentiful use of Japanese yuzu gives this beer a delicate yet deep citrus flavor. Enjoy the refreshing acidity from yuzu and the crispness of a lager.

350ml can. Pours a clear gold with a small, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that laces. Sweet fruity aroma of yuzu, grainy pale malt and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy malt, yuzu, tangerine, orange and lemon peel in a dry, crisp, mild bitter, floral hop finish. Light body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Refreshing, well made.

On tap at Takumi Craft Beer Bar, pours a hazy copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out plenty of fresh yuzu upfront, with some citrus zest in there also. Flavour is very juicy, full of citrusy yuzu goodness. Fairly zesty, yet juicy all the same. Very well-done.

Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours slightly translucent gold with a white head that collapsed quickly. Aroma is floral/citrus, but that strong Yuzu thing is present. Med body or so. Flavor is very Yuzu. Fruitily undry. Bitter - either hop or Yuzu. Quite refreshing.

I was gonna use a lager glass but then remembered a friend gifted me a Hitachino snifter. Hitachino Yuzu Lager 5.5% Clear honey gold with a thin fizzy beige brew that when I cracked open the can the aroma gave a big waft of floral Yuzu. Medium bodied, the flavor is Yuzu, a honey graininess and citrus spritz. Quite flavorful and clearly lager with Yuzu.

350 mL can from Discount Liquor, 1/27/19. Hazy orange, thin foamy white head, good retention. Aroma of yuzu, tangerine, pale malt. Taste is yuzu, lime, tangering, pale malt. Medium bodied, juicy, oily. Nice. But I love yuzu, so...

350ml can. Pours clear orange with a small white head. Aroma of intense yuzu juice. Taste is dominated by yuzu juice too, bitter, floral, perfumey, malts. Light body, soft carbonation. Weird, I like yuzu but this was almost overwhelming, and too perfumey and bitter, not convinced.
