The story of Sawmill Yuzu Hazy IPA 440C

Sawmill Yuzu Hazy IPA is a 6% ABV hazy IPA from the Matakana brewery, made with Citra, Motueka and Eclipse hops plus yuzu. The brewery's own description is tangy, refreshing, fresh, vibrant and tropical, and the yuzu is the twist that sets it apart.

Yuzu is a fragrant citrus of Chinese origin, grown mainly in East Asia and best known to cooks as the sharp flavouring in Japanese ponzu sauce. In a hazy IPA it adds a tart edge on top of the tropical fruit character the hops bring, and the unfiltered body keeps the whole thing soft. It comes as a single 440ml can.

Because yuzu is a Japanese kitchen flavour, Japanese food is the obvious match. Chicken karaage with a lemon wedge, pan-fried pork gyoza, or salmon sashimi with soy and wasabi all work. Pour it into a wide glass so the aroma has somewhere to go.
