Dokkaebier Yuza Blonde Ale: A Refreshing Citrus Craft Beer
What is Yuza Blonde Ale?
Yuza Blonde Ale is Dokkaebier’s refreshing and citrus-forward craft beer that combines the zesty flavor of yuza with the smooth, light body of a Belgian-style blonde ale. The infusion of yuza, a fragrant Asian citrus fruit, brings a unique brightness and tartness to this beer, making it a crowd-pleaser for those who enjoy a crisp, refreshing drink.
Why We Made It?
At Dokkaebier, we’re constantly exploring new ways to blend traditional Asian flavors with modern craft brewing. Yuza Blonde Ale was first introduced as Batch 24 in our experimental series, where we experimented with using yuza to create a citrus-forward blonde ale. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with drinkers loving its bright, zesty character, so we knew it had to become a core beer in our lineup.
Ingredients That Make It Stand Out
The key ingredient in Yuza Blonde Ale is, of course, yuza , which gives this beer its standout flavor.
Yuza (Asian Citrus Fruit) Yuza is prized for its unique and bold citrus flavor. With a tart and slightly floral taste, it adds a layer of complexity and brightness to the beer, making it more than just your average blonde ale. Yuza is also popular in marinades, sauces, and even desserts across Japan (they call it Yuzu) and Korea, and it’s this versatility that makes it an exciting addition to our brewing process.
What is Yuza?
Yuza is a citrus fruit native to East Asia, known for its intense, aromatic flavor. Often described as a cross between a lemon, lime, and grapefruit, yuza is widely used in Japanese and Korean cuisines, adding a tangy, floral note to both savory dishes and desserts. In Yuza Blonde Ale, this ingredient provides a burst of citrus freshness that elevates the entire drinking experience.
What To Expect From Yuza Blonde Ale?
When you take a sip of Yuza Blonde Ale, expect a burst of refreshing citrus from the yuza, followed by the smooth, lightly malted body of a Belgian blonde ale. The combination of tart, fruity flavors with a crisp finish makes this beer an excellent choice for a hot day or when you’re craving something light and zesty. It’s balanced yet bold, offering a refreshing twist on a classic style.
An Experimental Beer Turned Fan Favorite
Yuza Blonde Ale began as an experimental brew in our lineup as Batch 24, where we set out to see how yuzu would fare in a blonde ale. The experiment was a success, with fans loving the balance between the bright citrus of the yuzu and the smooth, easy-drinking quality of the ale. It has since become one of Dokkaebier’s core offerings, loved for its refreshing, citrus-forward profile.
This fan favorite is a testament to the spirit of innovation at Dokkaebier, where we’re always experimenting, exploring new flavors, and pushing the boundaries of what beer can be. It’s the perfect example of how our craft beers are more than just drinks—they’re experiences that bring people together. Yuza Blonde Ale continues to be a signature part of our menu, and we’re excited to see how its refreshing citrus notes continue to win over beer lovers far and wide.
