Evil Twin Femme Fatale Yuzu Pale

To take up the challenge and make a 100% true Brett IPA with Yuzu fruit can very easily become a fatal attraction for the brewmaster. Once you get acquainted with the Yuzu fruits irresistible and seductive personality, along with Bretts overpowering, alluring and very charming nature, it will ensnare you and drive you mad obsessing over how exactly you can create the perfect desirable tangy, funky, crisp, tart flavor in ya mouth.

3.7 Tap@Taphouse, Copenhagen - golden yellow pour with white head. Aroma and taste is citrus fruity and grassy hoppy, some nice floral hoppy notes, Brett, fruity hoppy finish.
3.4 Draft. A hazy golden beer with a huge lazing white head. The aroma has notes of yuzu, brett, and malt. The flavor is a bit acidic with notes of yuzu, brettanomyces, caramel, and malt, leading to a bitter finish.
3.8 Light golden pour w/ fruity hoppy aromas. Flavors of tropical fruits and light berries. Easy drinking, great beer
3.4 Bomber. Poured a clear golden color with a finger of quickly dissipating head. Aroma of citrus, a little pine, some biscuits. Tastes like grapefruit/yuzu with a fair bit of tartness and a bitter finish (a bit more bitter than I’d prefer overall). Somewhat refreshing.
3.5 Sample at the Evil Twin tasting at Crafted Drafts on 2/12/16. Pours clear amber with a thick white head. Aroma of malt, citrus, tropical fruit and funk. Malty flavor with sweet fruit before a funky and citrusy finish.
3.7 Tap at Craft Islington. Peach aroma with light citrus. Can’t quite get the yuzu. Spritzy, nice. Maybe a bit full on.
3.4 Draft. Amber beer with a cream head. Brett and grapefruit aroma with pine. Brett and grapefruit flavor with tropical fruit. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Brett and grapefruit linger with tropical fruit.
3.5 Tap. Hazy light straw gold. Some hay/straw and bretty farm notes in the aroma with some citrus hops. Flavor carries a bit of the brett, slight fruit, mango rind, touch earthy. Medium oily body.
3.7 Borefts 2014. Still standing. Light sour with tropical fruits. Some funk some hay. Nice. Backlog from 2014/09/27.
4.5 Bomber. Brett clearly evident in the nose. Huge billowy white head. Hazy gold body with effervescent bubbles. Effervescence comes through in the mouthfeel. Wonderfully unique; part hoppy, part fruity, part bretty. Really nice.

4.0 Bottle; pours hazy gold with an off white head; aroma of citrus fruits, yeast, grass, and hints of pine; taste is citrus fruits and yeast with hints of funk, grass, and pine; finish is tart; very good
3.9 My Bottom Line: Citrus fruit and delicately toasted cereals are lifted by the fluffiest of mouthfeels, a profile leading to building resinous hop bitterness. Further Personal Perceptions: -A sheet of foam covers the glowing pale gold. -The mouthfeel on this one is gorgeous. -Yuzu is well integrated and does not jump out at you like a lot of fruit do in fruit beers. -Chosen hops are aromatically harmonious with the yuzu, until the bitter finish that is. Bottle.
4.7 Nose opening earthy hop aromas. Hazy copper with light layer of head. A bitter hop that is joined then cleaned by the yuzu smooth and amazing great hot weather beer.
3.3 Bottle. Pours a cloudy orange gold with visible sediment and a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges and laces. Aroma has notes of sweet grains with some sweet citrus and a bit of light flora underlying. Flavor has sweet fruits and sweet citrus and a bit of grain as well as a touch of tartness.
3.5 Cloudy golden pour with a single finger head. Aroma is light and slightly tart. Taste is light, hints of peach with a little sweetness. Lace present. Light mouth. Very refreshing.
3.8 The look is a nice white head, cloudy look, and is deeper golden in color. The smell really pops, hops, fruity, pineapple, orange, and nice. The taste is bitterness, fruits, hops, floral, and passion fruits
3.9 Aroma is pine, floral and brett/yuzu. The flavor is fresh yeast, yuzu, very light pine needles, hops and a tart/bitter finish.
3.9 Bottle at home. A bit hazy amber beer with an offwhite head. Fruity hoppy citrus yuzu oranges a bit grassy aroma. Fruity hoppy yuzu oranges citrus grassy flavour.
3.0 Whats Brewing 2014. Golden-yellow colour with an off-white head. Aroma is brett, yuzu, malt, hop, citrus. Flavour is brett, yuzu, malt, hop, citrus, lemon, orange, bread. Weird beer.
4.1 I found this pale ale to be delicious and refreshing and nicely balanced. The yuzu adds a nice residual fruit sweetness without overpowering the beer. The brett adds a slight tartness. Quite nice.
3.8 Pouring at Where The Wild Beers Are 2014. Pours a hazed gold. Musky with big bright citrus on the nose. Big brett, toast. Bitter with long pith on the finish.
3.3 The beer pours a slightly hazy light yellow color with a huge white head that fades somewhat quickly. The aroma blends in-your-face citrus with undercurrents of grassy hops, yeasty funk, and bready malts. The taste is mildly sour, slightly bitter, and slightly sweet due to the strong citrus flavors and funk. The aftertaste is much mellower than the initial flavor with mostly just barnyard flavors, and the palate fuses a slick texture, average carbonation, and a medium-light body.
3.8 Bomber from Corner Stone bottleshop in Columbus ($9.99): gold pour with a huge pillowy white head that came gushing out of the glass (oops). pleasant aroma of tropical fruit, grain, barnyard. tastes are fruity citrus, lemon zest, brett. oily medium palate. finishes floral bitter and spice. Well constructed. For the price, can take it or leave it.
3.6 Clear gold pour. Big white head. Tons of lacing. Very effervescent. Lemon and orange aroma. Taste is citrusy tart and slight yeast.
3.9 Rätt nice, ipa. Mycket smak, bra fruktighet, härligt orange och grumlig. Huruvida det beror på yuzufrukten eller bra en bra öl är svårt att bedöma.
4.0 Hazy golden body with a gargantuan, sea foam, soapy, white head. Huge, lovely aroma consisting of brettanomyces, tropical fruits. Brett character dominates the flavor. Fruit and citrus rind with grapefruit tartness. Light to medium in body with bitter floral hops in the finish. Hop character is overshadowed to some degree by the dominance of brett. Still, tasty beer.
3.6 Bottle and served in snifter: Hazy golden hue with a big initial fluffy head, solid lacework. Yuzu is a big thing now days I guess...So after enjoying PW Yuzu Saison I guess I’ll give this a try. Moderately tart as expected, some spiciness, a bit of wheat and biscuit along with a bit of metallic bitterness. Not much sign of any Brettanomyces weirdness. Sort of like a hopped up Belgian with the spice dialed down a touch.
