Amaterasu Brewery launches DIPA UPLIGHT and sour ale Yellow Lailalai
Amaterasu Brewery in Fujisawa, Kanagawa, has introduced two new beers: UPLIGHT, an 8% DIPA, and Yellow Lailalai, a 4.5% sour ale made with pineapple and guava. The brewery presented them as a double opening for both tap and can.
Hop BroAmaterasu Brewery in Fujisawa just dropped a double opening with two new beers. It’s the DIPA 'UPLIGHT' and the sour 'Yellow Lailalai,' and that pairing is already doing a lot.
MugiWhat! Two releases at once? That’s stacked. Also, those names have totally different energy, one sounds radiant and the other sounds like it’s dancing.
Hop BroFirst up, 'UPLIGHT' is an 8% DIPA, brewed as a straight-down-the-middle IPA with no tricks. Simple malt, simple hop structure, and confidence in the finish.
MugiWait, what is DIPA? It sounds like a special move. Do I drink it and suddenly unlock beer powers?
Hop BroDIPA means Double IPA, so you’re getting more hops and strength in the glass. 'UPLIGHT' sits at 8%, and the article even frames it as a great second beer with a slow-building payoff.
MugiOhhh! Then what about Yellow Lailalai? The name alone feels like summer vacation in flip-flops.
Hop BroThat one’s a 4.5% sour with pineapple and guava puree. Pineapple leads the aroma, then the acidity snaps the finish into place, and the beer character stays soft and approachable.
MugiThat sounds like tropical dessert energy. If it’s easy even for people who aren’t big beer drinkers, I can already think of friends who’d jump on it.
Hop BroThat’s the smart part here: two beers for moods. Go with 'UPLIGHT' when you want hop definition, or pick 'Yellow Lailalai' when you want fruit-forward refreshment.
MugiI’m sold, then. I want to start with the sour and finish with 'UPLIGHT.' This is absolutely a side-by-side tasting situation.
Amaterasu Brewery in Fujisawa, Kanagawa, has announced two new beers at the same time. In the post, the brewery described the release as a "NEW TAP" and "NEW CAN" double opening, pairing the DIPA "UPLIGHT" (8%) with "Yellow Lailalai" (SOUR w/ Pineapple, 4.5%).
"UPLIGHT" is presented as a straightforward, center-of-the-style IPA. According to the caption, the beer uses a simple malt-and-hop structure while aiming for a highly polished IPA character. With its higher alcohol content, the brewery says it is a good choice for a second beer.
"Yellow Lailalai" takes a different direction, leaning into a summer-friendly sour profile. Pineapple puree and guava puree are added to the beer, bringing a pineapple-forward aroma and a crisp acidic finish. The brewery notes that the beer character is kept light, making it approachable even for people who do not usually drink beer.
For a brewery based in Fujisawa, the release shows two distinct styles offered side by side: a hop-driven DIPA and a fruit-forward sour. It is a lineup that gives drinkers options depending on mood, timing, and occasion.
