Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Yuzu Yokai
◎ Appearance
Yuzu Yokai presents as a very pale, almost colorless lager with exceptional clarity. The head is delicate and fine-grained, settling quickly to a thin collar. High carbonation gives the beer a lively, effervescent character in the glass.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with bright yuzu citrus—closer to grapefruit peel and mandarin than sharp lemon—layered with subtle floral notes. Behind this sits a soft herbal edge of dill and lemon from the Edelhopfen, while the malt remains neutral and unobtrusive in the background.
◐ Taste
The palate is dry and crisp, with the rice and malt providing a clean, cracker-like foundation. Citrus and floral character dominate the mid-palate, followed by a gentle herbal hop bitterness that doesn't linger aggressively. The body is light and refreshing throughout, with minimal sweetness.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and protracted, with yuzu citrus fading slowly and the herbal notes retreating gracefully. No harsh edges or dry tannic grip; the aftertaste remains bright and inviting.
