Yuzu is the Japanese name for a citron (a slightly less acidic lemon-lime type fruit). It is a wonderfully aromatic fruit with a snappy zest that is much prized in Japan. We received our portion from the Temple grounds of the family of one of Baird Beers' closest friends. We proceeded to shave off and collect the outer peels and hand-squeeze the juice. We then added both the peels and the juice to a rich, malted-wheat accented wort at the end of kettle boil. The end result is, in a word, divine! Hazy golden-orange in color, Temple Garden Yuzu Ale sports a cloud-like creamy white head that immediately conjures images of a higher being. The brisk citric aroma of Yuzu quickly invades the olfactory senses. The mouthfeel is softy coating and fruity-sweet but a playful carbonation and citric acidity keep the palate in an alert state of attention. Finally, a kiss of malt roundness and honeyed sweetness send the Yuzu fruit flavor into paroxysms of Nirvana-like joy. Temple Garden Yuzu Ale surely is a beery sign that, in the apocryphal words of Benjamin Franklin, "God loves us and wants us to be happy."

On tap at Pudel, Tallinn. Muddy brownish colur with a modest off-white head. Mild fraroma with gentle notes of citrus, citrus peel, malt and spices. Moderate to medium sweet with rather low flavour intensity and a light bitterness. Easy to drink and fairly enjoyable.

Courtesy of SeaBass. Pours hazy deep gold with copper core and off white head. The aroma is fruity with notes of berry, apple, cantaloupe, some herbs, floral hops and sugar coated pineapple. The taste is similar but a bit less fruity with apple, sugary fruit candy and some herbal to spice notes. Easy drinking with a sense of herbs and slightly tart candy somewhat cutting the sweetness.

Bottle: Poured a hazy yellow with white head. Aroma is fruit, mostly on the citrus side. Taste was bitter lemon fruit and suttle off setting malt. Has a nice complex flavor over all.

Sampled on 3/26/2010. This fruit beer pous a deep orange gold color from a 21.4oz bottle. Medium sized white foamy head, with decent lacing and nice retention. Aroma is citrusy, orange, fruity and sweet. A medium to light bodied fruit beer. The malts are fruity and sweet. The hops are earthy. Lively, yet very soft carbonation. Nice balance. Light and citrusy. A nice delicate flavored fruit beer from Baird. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.
