Hop BroToday I'm introducing a new Sour IPA from Naminooto Brewing in Minamiawaji City, Hyogo: 'orange days.'
MugiWait, it uses Naruto orange juice!? That already sounds delicious before even drinking it!
Hop BroThis brewery's whole approach is making beer that brings ingredients to life, so they really return Awaji Island's bounty back into the beer.
MugiWhat's a Sour IPA? And kettle souring sounds like a spell or something!?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's a method where the beer gets its sourness during the brewing stage. Then they layer in hop aroma with Motueka as the star.
MugiWhoa, and ABV 6.5% means it still has some real drinking presence!
Hop BroWith an IBU of 30, it's designed to be easy to drink without being too bitter. With the balance of tartness and aroma, IBU 30 feels like the sweet spot.
MugiSo the fruit's juiciness comes forward, and the citrus outline comes through really clearly!
Hop BroExactly. It's the kind of beer that even seems to carry the air of Minamiawaji, with that distinct Awaji Island feel.
MugiJust reading about it makes my mouth water! There's no doubt about it, I want to drink this right now!
Hop BroAbsolutely. Today, let's have 'orange days' and taste what it means when the first glass is the right choice.
Naminooto Brewing is a brewery based in Minamiawaji City, Hyogo Prefecture, with a focus on making beer that brings ingredients to life. By making the most of Awaji Island's blessings and returning value to the local area, it presents a clear regional circular-economy approach.
This new release is 'orange days / Orange Days,' a Sour IPA made lavishly with juice from Awaji Island's specialty citrus, the Naruto orange. The beer style is Sour IPA, with an ABV of 6.5% and IBU 30. It draws out lactic-acid tartness through kettle souring, and layers aroma through double dry hopping centered on the New Zealand hop Motueka.
The core of the flavor is the strong tartness and aroma of Naruto orange. Designed to pair the fruit's juicy character with a clean, crisp finish, it delivers a profile where the citrus outline comes through clearly. The official website also offers white beer, IPA, and session IPA, and this new beer adds another distinctly Awaji Island-like entry to the NAMI NO OTO BREWING lineup.
