RIKRI BREWING releases Selfless on draft and in cans
RIKRI BREWING in Tokyo's Gakugei-Daigaku area has released Selfless, a 7.0% West Coast IPA, on draft and in cans. The beer follows the brewery's earlier Wanderlust recipe and pushes the finish drier.
Hop BroRIKRI BREWING in Gakugei-daigaku just dropped the new Selfless in both draft and cans, and this one is worth talking about.
MugiWait, draft and cans together? So I can drink one there and smuggle my happiness home?
Hop BroExactly, and it's a 7.0% West Coast IPA built on the same dry direction as their earlier Wanderlust.
MugiOoh, but dry direction sounds very brewer-coded. Is that just a classy way to say mouth-desert mode?
Hop BroNot quite. The key is using glucoamylase, which pushes fermentation further and trims the sweetness.
MugiWhat is that! Glucoamylase sounds less like brewing and more like a mini-boss with poison attacks.
Hop BroIt's just an enzyme that helps break sugars into a form yeast can finish off. That's how it lands at FG 1.003 and stays super crisp.
MugiHold on, FG 1.003 is not an exam score? Okay, so it means less leftover sweetness and more snap?
Hop BroExactly. The grain bill uses Weyermann Extra Pale, and the hop stack is Simcoe and Citra plus Krush and Motueka, so the recipe is tightly dialed.
MugiThat aroma sounds wild. Sweet lime and orange with a peppermint lift? I'd be sniffing the glass like I lost my keys in it.
Hop BroThen the sip brings white peach, cooked citrus, and a little honey-like malt support. If you liked Wallflower, same IPA lineage makes this an easy target, and honestly I want one now.
MugiSame here, I'm already planning one pint at the brewery and a can for the ride home.
