Kaiser Chick, a brewery based in Chofu, Tokyo, has announced its new beer, Ivrogne. The beer is presented as a Belgian Golden Ale with an ABV of 9.0% and 25 IBU. While its alcohol content gives it considerable weight, the brewery highlights a bright, aromatic profile suited to slow drinking during the cooler seasons.

Ivrogne pours a bright gold and forms a generous head. Its aroma is described as sweet and reminiscent of ripe orange and white grapes. On the palate, floral character and sweetness lead the experience, while the beer’s higher alcohol level provides a firm, satisfying finish. The result appears to balance an expressive fruit-like aroma with the depth expected from a stronger Belgian-style ale.

The name “Ivrogne” is French for “drunkard.” Kaiser Chick also notes that drinkers should take care with the beer’s relatively high alcohol content. Rather than treating it as a session beer, Ivrogne is likely best enjoyed in smaller servings and at a measured pace.

Kaiser Chick brings its craft beer from Chofu, Tokyo. With its vivid color, generous foam, fruit-inspired aroma, sweet impression and substantial strength, Ivrogne offers a distinctive new option for autumn and winter drinking. Details on availability and serving locations should be confirmed through future announcements from the brewery.
