Suzuki Shuhan introduces Kyoto Brewing’s “Six Days Off” in Tokyo’s Minowa; the current version is the last chance to drink before the renewal
Suzuki Shuhan in Minowa, Tokyo, is introducing Kyoto Brewing’s session IPA “Six Days Off.” With citrusy hop character and notes of pine resin layered over aromas derived from Belgian yeast, this is a beer that is likely to attract attention to the current version before next month’s mid-month renewal.
Hop BroToday, Kyoto Brewing’s “Six Days Off” is the star, featured in Suzuki Shuhan’s introduction in Tokyo’s Minowa.
MugiWhat? With a name like that, “Six Days Off” sounds like you’re not getting much rest at all!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It’s a session IPA, so it’s easy to drink, but the aroma is still strong.
MugiWhat does session mean? Does it mean easy to drink, not a work meeting?
Hop BroExactly. It has an alcohol content of 4.5%, so it’s designed not to feel heavy even if you have a few glasses.
MugiWow. And if it’s not too bitter, IBU 20 is pretty gentle, right?
Hop BroThat’s right. The citrus and pine resin from the hops, plus the ester aroma from Belgian yeast, create a beautifully layered aroma.
MugiEster sounds complicated! But basically, it means a fruity aroma floats on top, right?
Hop BroExactly. And right now it’s before the mid-next-month renewal, so this is the last chance to drink the current version.
MugiThen I have to drink it! I was looking for something easy to sip over Golden Week, and this sounds perfect!
Hop BroYeah, if you want to confirm Kyoto Brewing’s current flavor, this is one you’ll want to check out now.
MugiAll right, decided! If I see it at Suzuki Shuhan today, I’m going there to toast Six Days Off!
