Hop BroBar Fiddich in Nara has tapped Minoh Beer’s Hakuho Ver. on draft!
MugiWait, a peach beer? Is Hakuho a peach variety?
Hop BroExactly. It is the second release of the Japanese Peach Weizen series, made with Hakuho peaches from Hakkien Farm in Wakayama.
MugiThey hand-process the peaches into purée? That sounds intensely peachy. I need to try this juicy Hakuho peach!
Hop BroIt uses 50% wheat malt, giving it a soft texture. Weizen yeast brings clove and banana-like notes, while fresh peach aroma joins in. Fifty percent wheat malt makes a lovely base.
MugiHold on—clove and yeast aroma? Have we wandered into spiced peach juice territory? What are these Weizen yeast aromas?
Hop BroYeast creates aroma during fermentation. Weizen yeast often suggests banana and clove, so here it supports peach and banana-like fruitiness without making the beer overly sweet.
MugiOhhh! I imagined peach beer as dessert-sweet, but if it is not overly sweet, it should pair with food too.
Hop BroThat is the appeal of Hakuho Ver.: plenty of peach aroma with a dry, crisp finish. At 5.0% ABV and 12 IBU, it has a light, dry drinking finish that works for a second pint.
MugiTwelve IBU means gentle bitterness, right? And that cloudy pale color sounds adorable. Best served at 8–12°C—noted!
Hop BroRight. The series is popular at Bar Fiddich, and comparing this with past and future peach varieties sounds fun. Hakuho fresh from the tap is a fine reason to visit Nara.
MugiFresh peach aroma plus that pillowy Weizen feel—I am thirsty already! Let’s raise a glass now, Hop Bro!
