This ale derives it name from its main ingredient, yuzu. Yuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit. I guess Marma-ale is a contraction of the words marmalade and ale.

I do not really know who Hiroyuki Fujiwara is, except that he is an illustrator, makes these limited editions out of Hitachino, and everyone seems to think he is the coolest guy.

Yellow opaque pure white head. Yuzu aroma all over the place, this does not smell like beer, it smells like marmalade. There is no bitterness in the taste, nor malt, nor hop flavors, just yuzu marmalade. This beer has a quick finish (does not linger dispite the powerful yuzu flavor).
