Yuzilla

Avery Brewing Company
United States·Fruited IPA
Tap to rate

Citrus aromas of yuzu, tangerine and grapefruit meet a flavor that is sweet and tart at once in this yuzu fruit ale. It is a front-porch, bluegrass kind of beer, built on wheat and two-row malt with Columbus hops behind the fruit, and the Avery tap room serves it with a black bean veggie burger and fries. 5% ABV.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced yuzu, tangerine, and grapefruit citrus that dominates immediately.

The overall impression is vibrant and aromatic, with the citrus taking clear precedence.

◐ Taste

The palate strikes a balance between bright sweetness and refreshing tartness, with yuzu and orange flavors providing the primary structure. Wheat malt contributes a clean, light grain foundation without heaviness. Columbus hops provide restrained bitterness and herbal character, allowing the fruit adjuncts to remain in focus throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and quick-fading, with lingering citrus acidity and a touch of fruit character remaining on the palate. The low ABV and moderate IBU allow the beer to feel refreshing rather than lingering or heavy.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

About Fruited IPA

What is a Fruited IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same citrusy, sweet, tart character as Yuzilla will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
