Kishiwada Beer to Release Seasonal Limited-Edition "Suisei" Made with Kishiwada-Grown Green Lemon on December 8
Kishiwada Beer, based in Kishiwada City, Osaka, will begin selling its seasonal limited-flavor beer "Suisei" on December 8 in limited quantities. It is an IPA-style brew that makes the most of a refreshing aroma and bitterness.
Hop BroYou know, Kishiwada Beer is releasing "Suisei" as a limited edition on December 8. It’s a seasonal beer made with Kishiwada-grown green lemons, and even the name already feels like winter air, doesn’t it?
MugiWhoa! A green lemon beer already sounds so refreshing just from imagining it! But how is a green lemon different from an ordinary lemon?
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part. Green lemons picked before they’re fully ripe tend to have a fresh aroma and tartness, and they pair that with hop bitterness to finish it in an IPA style.
MugiWait, what does finished in an IPA style even mean? When I hear IPA, it feels like I’m suddenly being transported into the world of beer nerds!
Hop BroPut simply, it’s the kind of beer where you really feel the hop aroma and bitterness. So with "Suisei," the sharp bitterness and the lemon aroma don’t clash; instead, they rise together.
MugiOhh! And with 5% alcohol, it sounds easy to drink, which is nice. It seems like it’d go well with dinner, and also be perfect for a day when you want to talk a little longer!
Hop BroExactly. The guide says it suits both an evening drink and a party. It has such a clean aroma that it works well as your first beer of the night.
MugiSo Kishiwada Beer does limited releases like this too. Hearing that it also has three standard beers makes me curious about a tasting set or something.
Hop BroTotally, and Kishiwada Beer was started by Hokkai Tekko, with equipment that was designed and manufactured in-house. On top of its regular "Tekko," "Kurotekko," and "Shirotekko," it even releases seasonal beers, so the brand has a really consistent identity.
MugiWait, an ironworks that makes beer! That’s surprising! It feels like local ingredients and craftsmanship have come together, which is kind of romantic.
Hop BroExactly. Even the label and name hint at lemons and a break in the winter clouds, so it’s pure Kishiwada character. Limited editions with this much local flavor are the kind of thing you can’t help but root for.
MugiNow I really want to drink it! If we toast with Suisei and line up the three standard beers too, the table might feel like spring even though it’s winter!
