Yona Yona is one of Japan’s most beloved Pale Ales. This Nagano craft beer is made in an American style with grapefruit-bomb Cascade hops and a generous 41 IBUs. Being a Japanese craft brew means it manages to drink softer and smoother than the American Pale Ale style would indicate. Tasting notes include an impressive head retention with modest soapy, floral, and citrusy (lemon, grapefruit, yuzu) aromatics. The palate is dry and slightly malt-forward though balanced. Notes include savory biscuits, light toast, cilantro, more citrus (meyer lemon), minerals, caramel, and saltwater taffy. Grassy and slightly piney hops clean up a soft finish.
