ISEKADO bundles six beers, including FC TOKYO PALE ALE, in April limited set
ISEKADO has released "Limited Beer Assortment (April)" as its limited-quantity April product. The set lets you taste six distinctive 350 ml cans side by side, including FC TOKYO PALE ALE and Nikukyuu IPA, and is priced at 4,400 yen (tax included).
Hop BroToday, Mie's ISEKADO limited set is interesting. It's the April edition of "Limited Beer Assortment (April)," and you can compare six varieties side by side.
MugiWhat! You can compare six varieties? And in 350 ml cans too? At this point, the fridge is basically an event hall!
Hop BroThe lineup is pretty sharp too. FC TOKYO PALE ALE, Nikukyuu IPA, SAKEKASU HAZY IPA ZAKU Shinryoku, Brain-Melting Ultra Heaven 3xIPA, MEMORY BOUQUET, and KABOSU BEAT, it's a traffic jam of personalities.
MugiWait, wait, those names are way too strong! "Brain-Melting"? If I drink that, won't I melt too?
Hop BroDon't worry, that's just the name being flashy. In reality, it's a style that lets you fully enjoy the hop character of an IPA. The appeal is in how the aroma comes forward and the bitterness stays neatly balanced.
MugiI see, but what's a hazy IPA? Is it just something cloudy?
Hop BroExactly. It has a soft appearance and mouthfeel, and sake-lees-derived aroma is one of those unexpected twists you can enjoy in SAKEKASU HAZY IPA ZAKU Shinryoku. Using sake lees from Mie's famous sake "Zaku" is very ISEKADO, isn't it?
MugiWow, sake lees and beer is such a fun combo! It's like putting Japanese sweets and Western sweets on the same plate!
Hop BroWhat's more, ISEKADO's hallmark is its diverse recipes, with limited brews released month after month. And because they've won awards at international competitions, it's not just playful; they've got real skill too.
MugiWait, they even have award wins and still keep putting out beers with names this aggressive? I can't tell if they're honor students or total eccentrics!
Hop BroThat's the irresistible contrast. Six bottles for 4,400 yen means you can chase a bunch of limited labels all at once, and I think it's a really good set for getting to know the current ISEKADO.
MugiAlright, decision made. Tonight I'm going to chill them and wait. I'll start with FC TOKYO PALE ALE, and by the end I want us to drink while sharing our thoughts on all of them!
April Limited Set
ISEKADO, the craft brewery in Ise City, Mie Prefecture, has prepared "Limited Beer Assortment (April)" as the April edition of its monthly limited products. True to the brewery's many awards at international competitions, this release again puts "tasting limited beers" front and center.
The set contains six varieties in total. The lineup is as follows.
- FC TOKYO PALE ALE
- Nikukyuu IPA
- SAKEKASU HAZY IPA ZAKU Shinryoku
- Brain-Melting Ultra Heaven 3xIPA
- MEMORY BOUQUET
- KABOSU BEAT
What stands out in particular is that it brings together beers with very different backgrounds in one box, such as FC TOKYO PALE ALE, which evokes a collaboration with a soccer club, Nikukyuu IPA created for the brand's 29th anniversary, and SAKEKASU HAZY IPA ZAKU Shinryoku, made with sake lees from Mie’s renowned sake "Zaku." The range is broad, from IPA styles that highlight hop aroma to a hazy IPA with sake-lees-derived aroma, and a pale ale with a refreshing fragrance.
ISEKADO, based in Ise City, is a brewery that continually rolls out limited brews tied to seasons and special projects in addition to its standard offerings. This set also lets drinkers experience, all at once, the wide variety of recipes the company does best, making its character easy to grasp for both regular ISEKADO drinkers and first-time buyers alike.
The selling price is 4,400 yen (tax included). All six come in 350 ml cans, making it easy to enjoy limited labels that are otherwise hard to track down individually. This monthly limited set is a noteworthy project for understanding where ISEKADO stands today.
