Hop BroI've got a tasty headline today. Nara's Good Wolf Brewery is rolling out a new yuzu beer.
MugiWhat! That already sounds super refreshing. What is Yuzu Bee exactly?
Hop BroIts full name is Yuzu Bee - Belgian White -, and it uses yuzu grown in Higashiyoshino Village in a Belgian White style.
MugiWait, what? That got technical fast. Belgian White means a white beer... or a shirt you should never spill on?
Hop BroNot the shirt version. It's a wheat-based style that tends to feel light and soft, and when yuzu joins in, the aroma pops.
MugiOooh, that actually sounds approachable. So it's basically easy and fruity to drink, right?
Hop BroExactly. It keeps the real yuzu aroma and tartness, with a moderate body, and it comes in 330ml at 748 yen with 4.5% ABV.
MugiWhoa, that's a sweet spot! 4.5% sounds easygoing, but when you say that, I hear accidental second bottle.
Hop BroHard to argue with that. But the mountain water and local ingredients really make it feel like a Higashiyoshino beer.
MugiI'm already imagining that bright finish. This totally makes me want a yuzu-scented toast tonight!
