Bottle from Tanakaya shop in Tokyo. Yuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit - it’s got an odd flavor (not exactly mouthwatering); like an apricot/grapefruit with some weirdness going on. SMELLS great, though! Copper colored. No head. No hops. Check it out. Seems HarvestMoon is some brewpub at Tokyo Disney.

Apr 19, 2008 Bottled. Hazy amber, creamy head. Hazy amber, creamy head. Lovely concentrated aroma of yuzy/tangerine. Sweet and light bodied with some surprising roasty notes coming through. The tangerine flavour is evident throughout, but never intrusive. Citric and mild, fresh, unusual and inviting.

Apr 17, 2008 Bottle. Thanks to Jonas for this tasty fruitbeer! Pours out in a hazy amber colour with low creamy white head. Very fruity and natural aroma of mandarin and satsumas with with dryish undertones of cedar-wood, mild spices and flowers. Medium-bodied with notes of mandarin, orange-peels, flowers and grass. Medium-bitter finish of orange-peels, grass and mild spices. Elegant, quaffable and rather unique beer, this.

Apr 12, 2008 Nice sweet yuzu nose, but I found the body was not as sweet and balanced as I hoped. A bit astringent and the Yuzu peels really come through instead of the fruit itself. Half way through a pint, I was enjoying this less and less. Good for a half a pint.
