Hop BroKishiwada Beer is releasing a spring-limited 12-bottle set with Harusaki at 8:00 a.m. on May 22. Since it’s limited in quantity, it looks like there’ll be a bit of a scramble from the morning.
MugiWhat! An 8 a.m. start is serious business! And a 12-bottle set means the drinks party is basically already planned.
Hop BroThe contents are great too: the set includes the standard Tekko, Kurotetsu, and Shirotetsu, plus six bottles of Harusaki. It’s nice that you can enjoy a seasonal beer in depth while comparing the different styles.
MugiWhat, so Harusaki is the star but the standards are there too! But what kind of flavor is Harusaki? Is it floral?
Hop BroIt’s a flavored beer made with hassaku citrus from Kishiwada. It has just the right sweetness, a refreshing tartness, and even a hint of bitterness, so it’s not just sweet.
MugiHassaku bitterness sounds kind of grown-up, doesn’t it? But hearing fruity drinkability makes me think I could go for it!
Hop BroThe alcohol content is 5%, and it’s designed with a solid richness too. It looks light, but when you drink it, it gives you real satisfaction.
MugiOh wow, now I’m curious about the standards too. Tekko sounds like pure craftsmanship just from the name!
Hop BroTekko is a wheat ale made with over 50% wheat malt, and it has the aroma of Cascade and Simcoe hops. Kurotetsu is a brown porter, while Shirotetsu is a light ale with restrained hopping, so each one has a clearly different personality.
MugiWow, tasting them side by side sounds so fun! And it’s packed with Kishiwada craftsmanship too, which feels kind of romantic.
Hop BroExactly. Just being a brewery that makes use of ironworks know-how is exciting, and the fact that it’s perfect as a gift is great too. If noshi and simple packaging are available, though, I’d be tempted to open it myself before giving it to anyone.
MugiThat’s it, I’m buying this for myself first! I want to chill the Harusaki and have it ready as a candidate for tonight’s drinks!
Kishiwada Beer, produced by Hokkai Tekkojo in Kishiwada, Osaka, will release a "Variety 12-Bottle Set" featuring its spring-limited flavor beer "Harusaki." Sales will begin at 8:00 a.m. on May 22, and the price is 7,560 yen including tax. The set includes 12 bottles in total: two bottles each of the standard "Tekko," "Kurotetsu," and "Shirotetsu," plus six bottles of "Harusaki."
"Harusaki" is a seasonal limited item that was renewed this spring from the previous "Hassaku" based on user feedback. It uses plenty of Kishiwada-grown hassaku citrus, combining moderate sweetness, a refreshing tartness, and the slight bitterness unique to hassaku. The style is a flavored beer with an alcohol content of 5%. It is designed so that its fruity drinkability is backed by a solid richness.
The three standard varieties also have clear individual characters. "Tekko" is a wheat ale made with more than 50% wheat malt, with the aromas of Cascade hops and Simcoe hops adding a lively feel. "Kurotetsu" is a brown porter blended with roasted malt and caramel malt, while "Shirotetsu" is a light ale with a restrained hop profile. All three have an alcohol content of 5% and come in 330 ml bottles. The appeal of this set is that you can compare the three standards while also enjoying the spring-only "Harusaki" all at once.
Kishiwada Beer is a brewery that produces craft beer locally in Kishiwada, using the manufacturing know-how it has cultivated as an ironworks. This set is suited not only to everyday evening drinks, but also to seasonal gifts, and options for noshi and simple packaging are available.
