Not so long ago, George and his wife had a wonderful time travelling around the Land of the Rising Sun. They drank beautifully executed clean, fresh, dry lagers and aromatic yuzu liqueurs and it was inevitable that inspiration would strike. The yuzu is an ugly, tart Japanese citrus which has a unique flavour somewhere between a grapefruit and a lemon. They are only harvested once a year and a centuries-old custom is to bathe with yuzus on the winter solstice. Yum Yum is a light-bodied, well rounded lager and the citrus addition means it pairs beautifully with food. Or a hot bath.
