Collaboration with Finback.
Luckily, we’re not short of ramen-heads in the office and to top it off we knew there were two more of New York’s biggest ramen fans heading into Leeds at just the right time; Kevin and Basil of Finback Brewery. We dropped them a line and set about putting together this yuzu IPA, a fruit synonymous with this Asian cuisine.
To complement the sharp, zesty nature of the fruit we wanted a base which was fluffy and rounded but still light enough to contribute to a refreshing drink. We went with pilsner malt and a large portion of wheat, backing them up with small portions of flaked wheat and oats for the base. The idea behind this was to put together a malt profile reminiscent of the Wit-style but that still had all the soft character that would be expected of a Northern Monk - Finback IPA.
We fermented with our house IPA strain and added yuzu juice at the back end. Finally, we dry- hopped with Citra and Mosaic, generously but not high enough to mask the unique flavour of yuzu.

Pours a slightly cloudy, golden coloration with a medium, fluffy head. Smells of light biscuity malt and quite a zesty citrus aroma, with just a hint of tropical fruit as well. Taste has some very light biscuity malt, but is dominated by quite zesty citrus notes of lime peel, grapefruit and tangerine, with just a hint of tropical fruit: pineapple, guava as well. Finishes with a medium bitterness and some zesty citrus notes lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.
While this might be just a tad one-dimensional, the yuzu lends some rather zesty citrus tang to this which is complemented nicely by some lighter citrus notes. Overall, quite a zesty, tangy, refreshing IPA that is rather enjoyable.
