Tokyo Calling
4.5% Session IPA
This is a sessionable yuzu and lychee IPA. Yuzu is a citrus fruit from central China, related to the mandarin, that could be described as a cross between an orange and a lime in terms of taste. The lychee is slightly less bitter and has a red skin under which you’ll find a sweet fleshy fruit. Originating from south east China, it is widely used in oriental cooking. These two fruits add a wonderful tropical citrus flavour, more so than your bog standard orange or lemon. (No offence to oranges and lemons.) The beer was dry hopped with Idaho 7 and El Dorado hops, for an extra fruity aroma. Rejected names for Tokyo Calling include: The Far Yeast, C’mere to me Yuze and Asian Dub Creation.
