Available for a limited window in late fall, zest from this uniquely shaped fruit is brewed into this seasonal West Coast ENIAC IPA. Buddha's Hand Citron is used widely in East Asian cuisine and as ornamental decoration in Chinese households during New Year celebrations. The fragrant, juiceless fruit imparts botanical notes and intense flavors reminiscent of fresh cut lemon and crushed lemon candies.

Clear, rich dark yellow brew with plenty of foam in the snifter. Amazing fragrance of perfumey citrus. Taste is very floral and something like lemon but less acidic and more aromatic. Lush and fruity with a nice dose of malty sweetness. A darker finish with bitterness lurking seductively.

Overall this is one of my favorite 2022 beers and an all-time winner for fruit-flavored beers. This one is in their Eniac IPA Series and another reason to try new releases from Lucky Envelope. From the 16 oz can purchased at The Cave in Kirkland. Dated 11/09/21.
