Hops with Yuzu Flavor

Yuzu gives bright, sharp, slightly floral citrus notes with a mix of lemon, lime, and mandarin. It is considered more delicate and perfumey than generic "citrus" or grapefruit and desirable when you want a refined, modern citrus character instead of heavy dank or resinous notes. This profile works especially well in pale, hop‑forward styles where aromatics stand out: modern IPAs (particularly Hazy IPAs and juicy Pale Ales), Kölsch, Blond Ales, Session IPAs, and some Saisons or Grisettes. It can also complement rice lagers, Japanese‑inspired beers, and light sour styles (Gose, Berliner Weisse). In darker or very malt‑heavy beers, the nuance of Yuzu is often lost or clashes with rich caramel/roast.
