Iki Yuzu Beer Review

Brewery: Iki brewery
Brewery Location: ‘s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands
Alcohol: 4.5%

Another one of the beers from my coworkers. This one was brewed with green tea and yuzu, which is a Japanese citrus fruit, like a lemon, I guess. Despite the bottle’s look, it’s just an Asian-inspired beer based in the Netherlands.

Sight: The beer had a fairly opaque, pale, golden color to it. A mild head went away before too long, leaving a ring of head around the edge of the glass on top of the beer.

Smell: It definitely smelled fruity, and I daresay, I got some light hints of caramel.

Taste: It was interesting. I don’t feel like the green tea impacted the taste all that much, but then again, it still had a taste fairly unique among beers I have had. It wasn’t very bitter, and it almost seemed like I was drinking a Radler.

Overall

While I don’t think this is a beer I would regularly drink, it was enough to be noteworthy. I wouldn’t go out of my way to get it, but if someone offered me one on a warm day, I would accept it without any complaints.
