Refreshing and exciting in equal measure, Yu Lu is brewed with Earl Grey tea and lemon zest for taste that belies its strength. Distinct peach and apricot notes are complemented by zesty bergamot flavours and a delicate loose leaf tea bitterness.

Can at home. Pours clear yellow, thin head. Aroma is extremely fruity, a true citrus fruit bomb. Some pine in the background, tad of grass. Light body. Flavour is very light on the malt, medium on the bitterness, and heavy on the hops. More pine and less citrus than in aroma. Still really lemony, a whiff of grass; think lemon zest was a great idea. Very easy and light summer beer which is mostly a testament to lemon. Great stuff!

Smooth fruity, easy to drink with fruity bitter lemon. Deep but a bit watery grainy with a lemon bitter grainy aftertaste.

33cl bottle at Yume Ramen, Rimini, Italy. Can't tell the colour (served in a non-transparent glass), stable white foam. Aroma is hoppy and very nice citrus, fruity (apricot), gives a hint of spicy too. Body and carbonation are average. Taste is moderately bitter, but still delicate. The tea feeling can be felt connected to a little bit of sweetness. Finish is average too.
