Huitriere's Session IPA "AKKESHI PRISME" Arrives at Susukino Ale STAND
In an Instagram post from Susukino Ale STAND, Huitriere's new release, "AKKESHI PRISME," was introduced. Brewed to celebrate Huitriere's first anniversary in Akkeshi, this Session IPA is characterized by aromas reminiscent of tropical fruit and strawberry, along with a light, easy-drinking 4.5% profile.
Hop BroHuitriere's AKKESHI PRISME has arrived at Susukino Ale STAND. It was brewed to mark Akkeshi's first anniversary, and even the name alone already shines.
MugiWhoa! AKKESHI PRISME sounds like a jewel! But does Session IPA mean it's easier to drink than a regular IPA?
Hop BroExactly, that's the key point. At ABV 4.5%, it's light and easy, and you still get a solid hop aroma without it feeling heavy.
MugiOhh! So the aroma is the star, then? Tropical fruit and strawberry already sound delicious before drinking it!
Hop BroThat's right. The post described tropical fruit aroma, berry notes, and a subtle dank character. "Dank" here means a kind of green, grassy, slightly damp hop character.
MugiWait, dank as in basketball? So hop character can be that varied? I'm learning before even taking a sip!
Hop BroAnd the flavor is clean and light. So even though the aroma is bright, the finish drops off smoothly. It really shows what Session IPA does well.
MugiThat's awesome! If it's easy to pair with food, it seems great as a first drink, and then you might just want another one!
Hop BroWhat's more, Susukino Ale STAND is in the COCONO SUSUKINO B1F in Sapporo, so it's easy to try right in the city. It's a really good spot if you want an entry point into Hokkaido craft beer.
MugiThen I have to go! If I can drink a taste of Hokkaido's present, I want to toast while taking in the aroma!
Hop BroThen let's go together at the end. With the background of a commemorative Akkeshi brew, it's a beer you can only drink now, and even I, from the perspective of a shop owner, want to drink it normally.
MugiYeah! I really like beers that make me think, I want to drink this for the aroma. If I find it in Susukino, I'm definitely checking it out!
