At the beer pub Y.MARKET BREWING KITCHEN in Meieki, Nagoya, the new arrival introduced as a fresh release is Namichita Blood Orange IPA. The post title, "Namichita Blood Orange IPA🍊...", put a seasonal fruit IPA front and center.

This beer is one of the well-known entries in Y.MARKET BREWING's lineup, and its style is Fruit American India Pale Ale. It is characterized by a design that layers the solid bitterness of an IPA base with the sweetness and aroma of fully ripe citrus derived from blood oranges from Minamichita in Aichi Prefecture. According to the official beer information, it has an ABV of 6.0%, an IBU of 56.35, and uses Simcoe / Chinook / Centennial hops, promising both satisfying drinkability and fruit character.

Y.MARKET BREWING KITCHEN is a Y.MARKET-operated beer pub located at 4-17-6 Meieki, Nakamura-ku, Nagoya. Taking advantage of its proximity to the brewery, it offers draft craft beer alongside dishes featuring rotisserie chicken and Mexican influences, as well as Nagoya-style food. Of course, you can enjoy the beer on its own to follow the aroma, but pairing it with spicy dishes or meat dishes makes the brightness of the blood orange and the bitterness of the IPA feel even more dimensional.

For fans of fruit IPAs, and for those following a glass that makes use of local Tokai-region ingredients, this new release is a topic worth checking out.
