Yokai is a delightfully balanced blend of bright Yuzu citrus, umami from the seaweed and gentle spice from Sichuan peppercorns. It takes inspiration from Yadokai, our infamous sake-inspired 13% beer.

Unusual, but enjoyable. Don't get the Szechuan much, but the yuzu and kelp are well balanced against each other.

Pale, lively yellow beer. Decent white head. Citrusy, peppery aroma. Taste has the same qualities, though to be honest there isn't a hell of a lot of flavour to it. What's there is quite balanced and interesting but it's just a bit tame and meh, though it does pick up in the aftertaste where the spices come through again.
