At the beer pub Bar Fiddich in Minamiichi-cho, Nara City, Y.MARKET BREWING's 'Minamichita Blood Orange IPA' has been tapped. This fruit IPA uses blood oranges from Minamichita, Aichi, and lets you enjoy both citrus sweetness and IPA-like bitterness.
Hop BroThe Y.MARKET BREWING 'Minamichita Blood Orange IPA' that was tapped at Bar Fiddich in Minamiichi-cho, Nara City is definitely one beer fans shouldn't miss.
MugiWhoa, a blood orange IPA!? I have no idea whether that ends up sweet or bitter!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. It uses Moro-variety oranges grown by Manshu Fruit in Minamichita, Aichi, and achieves both fruit aroma and bitterness.
MugiMoro variety? That sounds suddenly like a lab experiment. Is a Moro-variety blood orange really different from a regular orange?
Hop BroIt's a variety with strong red coloration and a tendency to show berry-like nuances as it ripens. That's why this beer makes that deep red citrus character the star.
MugiOhhh! And the style is Fruit American IPA too, so it's packed from the name alone!
Hop BroExactly. It has the satisfying drinkability of 6.0% ABV, and the hops are US Simcoe, US Chinook, and US Centennial, which give it a sharp edge.
MugiWow, just the hop names sound intense! But if fruit is in there, is it maybe a not-too-bitter IPA?
Hop BroIt definitely has bitterness, but because the medium body is layered with orange sweetness, it finishes as a well-balanced IPA rather than something overly sharp.
MugiI see, so you get to enjoy the rich citrus aroma while still getting that IPA satisfaction. Now I'm curious!
Hop BroBar Fiddich is a relaxed beer pub, so it's perfect if you like following rotating guest taps. I want to go drink a freshly tapped pint while it's still fresh.
MugiLet's go! Today I just want to raise a glass of blood orange IPA already!
