Yorocco Beer IPA 6% Bottle. An opaque orange-red (auburn?) color with a nice orange citrus hop bouquet but possibly also a touch of earthy skunkiness. Medium bodied and fairly sweet with a prickly pine and orange rind flavor. I’m enjoying the chewy malt character in the body and the balance of this beer. Quite good, I’m keen to see what they bring down for us at their Kansai launch at Tadg’s on April 9th!

Tap at Beach Muffin. Pours a hazy gold with a finger of head. Muscat, pear, white grapefruit, lemon and some yogurt notes on the nose. Tart and dry on the palate with some light funk from the yeast. Really nice crisp tartness paired with some pithy white grapefruit and iyokan citrusy bitterness on the finish. Another one to Yorocco. --- Beer merged from original tick of Shun Rai "Spring Lightening" Saison on 26 Mar 2016 at 15:04 - Score: 7. Original review text: Punchy citrus and Belgian yeast. Sweet Mikan, not cloying. A little too boozy but still great!

Tap at Beach Muffin. Pours a hazy straw with a finger of white foam. Light tropical fruit, pear, apple and guava on the nose with some light horseblanket and wood. Average carbonation with apricot and more of the fruit mentioned above. Some lemon zest and pith towards the finish. Bitter and bone dry but slightly boozy. This beer is insanely complex for the abv and fun roller coaster of beer. Everything I love about Yorocco summed up in one beer. Fantastic. --- Beer merged from original tick of Cultivator on 17 Jun 2016 at 20:48 - Score: 8. Original review text: Great as usual!

Bottle shared. Thanks Biirusaikou! Nose is pure tart kinkan with some funky lambic notes of must and cobwebs. Above average carbonation with a slightly pulpy, juicy mouthfeel. Good kinkan zesty bitterness along with good citric acid and tartness. The fruit got a little funky during fermentation but it gives it a nice tart edge that enhances the beer and works out in the end. Some fermented sweetness, but overall a bitter and tart beer. Very good end result. --- Beer merged from original tick of Kinkan Blond on 26 Mar 2016 at 12:42 - Score: 8. Original review text: Funky, tart, kind of like a light lambic. Fruit bread on the palate. Great carbonation. Another great fruit beer from Yorocco.

Tap at Beach Muffin. Orange and roasted malt on the nose with some nice yeasty fruity esters. More roasted malt on the palate with some light chocolate and more citrus. Light roasted malt finish with more orange. Decent but maybe a little too roasty in the nose and on the palate. Still tasty.

Kinkan Blonde 6% Pours a deep cloudy orange with an off-white head of foam and it had a huge aroma of kinkan - seriously fantasticly fresh fruit and a honeyed biscuit malt character. Medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel. It’s got a tart citrusy bite from the kinkan and a bit of a light vienna/biscuit malt. Tarter than expected, sweet enough. I liked it alot. I had no idea this was 6%, it drank way lighter feeling than that.

On tap at Beach Muffin. C-Porter 5.6% Citrus Porter on tap at the taproom. Juicy citrus aroma like a fresh-cut orange with underlying chocolate. Med-full bodied with a dry finish. The taste is roasty chocolate and bright citrus flavor. I was underwhelmed at first but it grew on me quite a bit.

On tap at Beach Muffin. Yorocco Pale Ale 5.2% Cloudy orange gold with a juicy citrus hop aroma. Very dry finish on a light body. The taste is pithy citrus with orange in the aftertaste. Nice.
