Hop BroKagiya Brewery's CAGHIYA TAP ROOM in Kawasaki has dropped a limited-quantity new release called "MELT WITH YOU"!
MugiWhoa! Even the name is romantic! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's a Dessert-inspired Ale, based on an American Brown Ale. ABV 6.0%, IBU 21, SRM 18, and it's aiming for a caramel-and-marshmallow finish.
MugiWhat is that! I know ABV, but IBU and SRM sound like things that show up on a test!?
Hop BroSimply put, ABV is alcohol content, IBU is bitterness, and SRM is color depth. An IBU of 21 means it's not too bitter, and SRM 18 gives it a reddish brown tone.
MugiOhhh! So it's not just 'sweet,' but actually designed to be easy to drink too!
Hop BroExactly. They layer Vienna malt with caramel malt, add vanilla, caramel, and marshmallow notes, and finish it so it won't wear you out. That's smart recipe design.
MugiA dessert beer that doesn't tire you out sounds amazing! And it seems perfect after a meal too!
Hop BroThe recommended temperature is 10-12°C. As it warms a little, the aroma really opens up, so it's great for sipping slowly at night. And it's limited, so it disappears when it's gone.
MugiThen we'd better hurry! Hop, let's go get our "MELT WITH YOU" fix tonight! I want to experience that marshmallow aftertaste!
Key Points of the New Release
The new product Kagiya Brewery announced on March 5, 2026 is "MELT WITH YOU." In the product description, it is characterized by the soft sweetness of caramel and a marshmallow-like aftertaste that lingers after swallowing.
The style is listed as "Dessert-inspired Ale (American Brown Ale)," and the specs are ABV 6.0% / IBU 21 / SRM 18. Even while using sweet adjuncts, it is designed to keep the body light and make it easy to keep drinking.
Recipe Design and Drinking Notes
According to the published information, Vienna malt was used as the base malt, and caramel malt was added to create depth in the sweetness and a reddish color. In addition, the beer is intended to layer caramel, marshmallow, and vanilla elements while ultimately leaving a satisfying malt character.
The recommended serving temperature is 10-12°C. As it warms slightly, the aromas are said to become more expressive, making it a beer suited to after-dinner moments or relaxed evening drinking.
