The beer


`ozigi brewing Hakodate Brewery India Pale Ale` has appeared at Susukino Yell STAND, a beer pub in Susukino, Sapporo. As part of the shop’s guest-beer lineup, it gives drinkers a chance to compare a Hakodate-made craft beer with other Hokkaido brews in the same place.

The IPA is built around Mosaic, a hop known for its layered aroma profile, and it is dry-hopped twice. The result is a fragrant beer with notes of ripe peach, mango, pear, and honey-like sweetness, followed by a balanced bitterness. It also won bronze at the Japan Great Beer Awards 2022.

Visually, it pours a clear amber color, and the aroma opens up immediately after the seal is broken. The bitterness is firm enough to keep the finish crisp, but not so strong that it overwhelms the fruit-driven hop character. Susukino Yell STAND is located in COCONO SUSUKINO B1F in Chuo-ku, Sapporo, making it an easy stop for anyone exploring the neighborhood and looking for a focused craft-beer pour.
