Hop BroToday, let's talk about the saison “PEACH” introduced at SHIKI BEER in Saitama's Fujimi City.
MugiWait, a beer called PEACH already sounds delicious!
Hop BroExactly, but it’s not just peach - the star of the aroma is the hop-derived fruitiness.
MugiHops can smell like fruit? That’s kind of mysterious, like fruit juice!
Hop BroWhat makes it interesting is that the aroma has notes of pineapple, peach, and grapefruit.
MugiWow! But saisons seem like they’d have a pretty tricky yeast flavor...
Hop BroThat’s important too, because the fermentation-derived complexity remains, so you can really enjoy the depth of saison yeast.
MugiThat sounds amazing! And being able to drink it right there where it was made must make it feel extra fresh!
Hop BroAfter moving to Mizuhodai, SHIKI BEER has prioritized the experience of drinking locally, and it has a strong Belgian-style foundation too.
MugiDrinking it while checking out the aroma at the wooden counter must feel like a real weekend treat!
Hop BroYeah, it’s the kind of beer that makes you grin at the aroma first, then groan with delight at the first sip. This is one I’d want to go for to enjoy the aroma and flavor of fermentation.
MugiThen let’s go now! You and I both are in the mood to drink PEACH today!
At the brewpub SHIKI BEER in Higashi-Mizuhodai, Fujimi City, Saitama Prefecture, the saison-style beer PEACH was featured.
SHIKI BEER relocated to Mizuhodai in 2022 and is a brewery that places emphasis on “being able to drink beer made in that place, right there.” While centered on Belgian styles, it is characterized by carefully presenting beers that can be enjoyed locally.
The recently introduced PEACH is a saison with an especially memorable fruity aroma derived from hops. According to the information, its aromatic outline carries notes of pineapple, peach, and grapefruit, while the complexity of saison yeast adds depth to the flavor in the background. Rather than simply pushing the fruit character to the forefront, it appears designed to layer hop brightness while still leaving room for the expressive qualities of fermentation.
SHIKI BEER also has appeal in the atmosphere of its taproom, with a wooden counter and a handmade feel that invites beer lovers to settle in and enjoy a drink at leisure. Since it is located just a short walk from Mizuhodai Station, it is easy to stop by for a pint after work or on the weekend. It is a lineup that should catch the attention not only of Belgian-style fans, but also of those who want to enjoy hop aroma and yeast-driven depth at the same time.
This PEACH is a beer that clearly conveys the “aroma and flavor of fermentation” that SHIKI BEER has long valued, in the form of a fruity saison. If you see it inside the shop, the first thing to do is check out the aroma.
