Nori’s Beer announced on Instagram that sales of a new batch have begun. This time’s featured beer is the classic Citra IPA. The post says that the standard beer is "back in stock for the first time in eight months," making it a welcome return for fans who had been waiting.

The specs announced this time are ABV 6.0% / IBU 39. According to the description, it uses Citra hops, known for citrus aromas reminiscent of grapefruit and lime, and is designed to balance the IPA-style citrus character with easy drinkability that is not too heavy. Centered on the bright hop-derived aroma, this is a beer aimed at a balance that makes it one you can reach for any day.

The sales channels are also clearly laid out. As of the time of the post, listing on the e-commerce site has already started. In addition, sales at the brewery begin on March 19 and new tap openings at the Tap Room begin on March 20. It is being released in stages so that it is easy to access whether you are buying online or visiting in person.

On its official website, Nori’s Beer describes itself as a craft beer specialty shop from the Kyonan region of Yamanashi Prefecture, brewing a variety of styles using local ingredients. In its actual product lineup as well, beers made with ingredients from within the prefecture can be seen, showing a consistent emphasis on regional character. This Citra IPA is also an update that gives the lineup more depth in the sense of strengthening the brewery’s core hoppy lineup, rather than its fruit beer direction.
