BMB Brewery unveils smoothie sour “Amethyst Eye” made with Kyoho grapes and peaches
BMB Brewery in Miyazaki City has unveiled its new product, “Amethyst Eye.” It is a smoothie sour that combines grape, peach, and ice cream, with an alcohol content of 4.0%. Its dessert-like design highlights the sweetness and acidity of Kyoho grapes.
BMB Brewery in Miyazaki City introduced its new release, “Amethyst Eye,” on its product page. The style is `Smoothie Sour`, and it is finished with `Grape, Peach, Ice Cream` at 4.0% ABV. The retail price is 1,015 yen including tax.
In the official description, it is presented as “a glass like eyeshadow that shines at night,” pointing to a flavor in which the rich sweetness and vivid acidity of Kyoho grapes overlap. Not only is the visual impression emphasized, but the shape of the flavor is also described as “lustrous and sharp,” suggesting a design that aims for balance rather than sweetness alone.
What stands out in the ingredients is the generous use of grape puree and Kyoho soft serve. By layering fruit and dairy elements, it is thought to add dessert-like depth in addition to the crisp acidity typical of a sour. BMB Brewery is based in Miyazaki City and continues to create distinctive products that foreground the character of their ingredients while staying rooted in the local area.
For craft beer fans, this is one to watch for how it balances the sweet-tartness of fruit with the richness of a dessert-like beer. At a light 4.0% ABV, it also seems like an easy choice for after-dinner drinking or relaxed moments.
