Kiuchi Brewer Hitachino Nest Beer Yuzu Lager

Yuzu Lager is another beer I purchased from the Super G International Supermarket. This beer is from Hitachino Nest Beer, brewed by Kiuchi Brewery in Nakai Baraki Perfecta, Japan. This beer is 5.5% and brewed with Yuzu fruit. The best way to describe this is a lemon and a persimmon had a baby. Yuzu Lager pours a yellow color with a one-finger fizzy white head. There is no head retention on this Lager. The aroma is sweet, fruity, citrus, lemon, and orange. The taste is fruity with light lemon and decent orange flavor. This lager is slightly sweet with a tiny tartness. This had a light feeling in your mouth. Then it has a citrusy finish. The aftertaste is somewhat crisp with just a faint tartness. This beer is good but I was expecting it to be better than it was. I give This Yuzu Lager A B-. On the side of the can they said that this beer is crisp several times. I found it to be a little bit of that. The Yuzu is the more dominant flavor of this beer and kind of hides the lager-ness of the beer. But I found it to be good. I would recommend this Have I had better citrus lagers? Yes, I have and this wasn’t bad. Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
