Citta Brewery begins pouring saison Beech Harvest
Citta Brewery, based in Chiba’s Chuo Ward, has added a new beer called Beech Harvest to its tap lineup. The saison sits at 5.5% ABV and is described as crisp, lightly tart from yeast character, and well suited to a summer first pour.
Hop BroChiba just dropped something worth talking about: Beech Harvest from Citta Brewery. It’s a 5.5% saison now on tap, built for that first summer pint.
MugiWait, Citta Brewery sounds cool already! But what even makes a saison different from a lager or an IPA?
Hop BroThe big thing is the saison style. It’s traditionally farmhouse, usually light, dry, and super easy to pair with food before or after a meal.
MugiOkay, but when people say dry, I picture mouth-moisture theft. Am I about to need a rescue glass of water?
Hop BroNo emergency required. A dry finish just means it doesn’t end sweet or heavy, so it snaps off clean instead of lingering.
MugiOhhh, so this one leans on gentle bitterness? Not one of those IPAs that karate-kicks your tongue?
Hop BroExactly, and it also has yeast-driven acidity. Just a slight tang, with restrained hop aroma, so the whole thing stays balanced.
MugiHold on, yeast-driven acidity sounds like lab wizardry. Is the yeast in there squeezing tiny lemons?
Hop BroAdorable, but no. It’s a fermentation nuance that adds a faint fresh lift. That’s why Beech Harvest sounds so crushable on a hot day.
MugiSo basically this is a first-pint missile. At 5.5%, I could absolutely see myself ordering it right after work.
Hop BroThat’s the charm. summer-ready freshness without trying too hard. It feels designed to slide naturally into everyday drinking.
MugiNow I really want one. Let’s make the first glass tonight a Beech Harvest and confirm my mouth stays fully hydrated.
