Ushi-Tora Brewery’s Raspberry Ale

At the beer pub KEG-NAGOYA in Higashisakura, Higashi Ward, Nagoya, Ushi-Tora Brewery’s “I Added Raspberry” was featured. The style is Fruit Ale, and the alcohol content is 4.5%. It is built on a light base made using only Pilsner malt, then undergoes secondary fermentation after a large amount of fresh raspberries are steeped in it following primary fermentation.

What stands out about this beer is the way the tartness and bright aroma from the raspberries take center stage. Since it is brewed with very little hop bitterness, it is easy to approach even for people who do not like strong bitterness. Its red-fruit color and the elegant, indulgent impression of its aroma make it a beer that can be enjoyed straightforwardly in a single glass.

KEG-NAGOYA is a craft-beer pub operating in the Sakae and Hisaya Odori area. On weekends and holidays it opens from 11:30 a.m., and it offers 13 kinds of draft craft beer. It is also known for its wide selection of seasonal dishes, making it an easy place to enjoy daytime drinking or drink alone. It is a lineup well suited to taking your time with beers that have a clearly defined fruit character, paired with food.
