Kyoto White Yuzu Ale Review—Crisp Citrus from Japan

Kyoto White Yuzu Ale by Kizakura Sake Brewing Co. is a refreshing Belgian-style wheat beer brewed with Japanese yuzu and coriander. It opens with a clean citrus aroma and pours golden with a light haze. The first sip brings mild, fruity yuzu upfront, layered over a smooth wheat body with subtle spice notes and a slightly bitter, peel-like finish.

The body is light and smooth with just enough carbonation to keep things crisp. It also comes with an easy-opening pull tab bottle cap—not something you see every day, but it fits the beer’s approachable vibe. If you’re into Belgian Whites and want a well-made, citrus-forward variation with a Japanese twist, Kyoto White Yuzu Ale is worth seeking out.
