Yuzu Weiss is a refreshing wheat beer from Yokohama Bay Brewing that blends the classic German weissbier style with the distinctly Japanese citrus character of yuzu. The aroma features familiar notes of banana and light clove-like spice, immediately lifted by the bright, zesty freshness of yuzu peel and juice.
The flavor is built on a soft wheat base, gentle bready sweetness, and natural fruitiness, while the yuzu adds a lively, lemon-like acidity that makes the beer light, vibrant, and highly drinkable. Bitterness is minimal, carbonation is smooth and refreshing, and the finish remains dry, clean, and citrus-forward.
The alcohol level sits around 5.5%, well integrated and unobtrusive. Yuzu Weiss represents a successful fusion of traditional brewing technique and a local Japanese ingredient, resulting in a wheat beer with a unique regional identity that stands out for its aromatic clarity and elegant simplicity.
