hazy yellow and not really good looking, but in fact not that bad. in my opinion definitely better than its overall score here might tell. quite nice white head, sweet fruity (mango, melon) aroma, bitter aftertaste, sweetbitter. quite strong on your tounge, mildly oily. the green tea it claims to have is traceable in the taste/flavour too.

Bottle @ sushi bar. Cloudy light yellow colour and thin white head. Aroma of wheat, fruit, tea and malt. Balanced and sweet mouthfeel. Reminds me of a Mikkeller but I cant remember which brew.

33 cl bottle.

Pours pale clear golden color with a small head. Aroma of herbs, grass and corn. Flavor of hay, herbs, some fruits and corn.

33cl Bottle: brought back from Amsterdam by my wife as a present after a Hen Party weekend. The bottle had a best before date of 30/12/12: so well out of date when she bought it and when I opened it on 15/03/13. Poured it into a Westmalle chalice at home: cloudy lemon/yelloe body with a full, deep head of uneven foam, lacing and staying power from the said head. Smell is mangos and yeasty. Taste is a fruit tea sort of flavour (mangos, oranges and grapefruits): strange. Funny beer really: glad she only brought me one home, don’t know what to make of it. As a one off it’s fine but I couldn’t see me or any of my mates having a session on it. Scored as objectively as I can.

Une belle bière de soif. Un bon équilibre sur les notes citronnées du yuzu. Idéale pour les chaudes journées d'été devant le barbecue. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle shared with McTapps. Simple, nearly tasteless lager with no aroma smell or drink. Uninspiring and brewed withour love.

Bottle shared with MichaelBruch. Clear light golden colour with low head and medium body. Nose of malt. Taste of mild hops, mild citrus fruits. Quite bitter finish, what could be the green tea, but honestly I don’t taste it at all.

Starting aroma very malty, yeasty. Pours hazy yellow to orange with huge yeast pieces at the bottom, after huge white head has diminished leaving lacies - aroma changes to light sweet-sour, licorice+ginger (but maybe it’s lime), unripe apples, bit floral hops. Tastes same way - sweetish-sour with minimal bitter. Flavor is overwhelmed by this "Yuzu" too much. Palate - light body, watery-compote texture, a bit floury, min dry finish. In conclusion - not very enjoyable but must admit that best from this style so far to me.

Bottle sample at a tasting at avrashi’s place. Thanks avrashi. Pours golden hazy with white head. Malty, bread, a little lemon tea aroma. Tastes a little malty, mildly bitter, green tea. Light body, malty finish, a little watery.

Muddy yellow with medium white head. Bit lacing Aroma.. mostly citrus with herbal notes, bit malty, grainy. Bit weird at start, but not bad. From sweet to sour finish. Spicy. Decent, thou beer should be different for me
