Hop BroPecora Beer in Asao Ward, Kawasaki has released a brand-new beer, #063 Ouessant. It’s an IPA with a remarkably easygoing 3.0% ABV.
MugiWhat?! An IPA at just 3.0% ABV? It sounds packed with aroma without making you tired of drinking it!
Hop BroIt’s a Micro IPA with 30 IBU. Expect bright citrus aromas, plus floral notes and a gentle tropical touch.
MugiWait, what is a Micro IPA? It doesn’t mean you drink an IPA from a tiny glass, right?
Hop BroNot a tiny glass! It means a lower-alcohol IPA—one designed to retain IPA’s hoppy character while keeping the body light.
MugiGot it! And it uses a three-hop blend. What hops are in there?
Hop BroMosaic, Cryo Loral, and Cryo Amarillo. Cryo hops are processed to concentrate hop compounds—think of them as aroma-concentrated hops, more or less.
MugiLike concentrated juice for hops?! And with a smooth, clean finish, it sounds wonderfully approachable too!
Hop BroHere’s the lovely part: the name comes from the Ouessant sheep, said to be the world’s smallest breed. It also continues Pecora Beer’s sheep-themed naming.
MugiA tiny sheep for a light IPA—such a cute name! And this is brewer Kohei’s first recipe, isn’t it?
Hop BroExactly. It’s Pecora Beer’s first low-alcohol IPA, and their Pecora Beer Kitchen offers up to nine house beers for comparison. This aromatic, easygoing IPA deserves a toast!
MugiI want one now! Let’s start with citrus-scented Ouessant, then chase it with the rest of the sheep series!
Pecora Beer, a small craft brewery in Asao Ward, Kawasaki, Kanagawa, has announced its new beer, #063 Ouessant. The beer is brewed in the Micro IPA style at 3.0% ABV, with an IBU of 30.
The recipe uses Mosaic, Cryo Loral, and Cryo Amarillo hops. Bright citrus aromas lead the profile, followed by floral character and a subtle tropical impression. Its light body brings a gentle grain flavor, while moderate bitterness and restrained astringency create a smooth palate.
Ouessant finishes crisp and fresh. It offers expressive hop aroma without the weight of a stronger IPA, making it an approachable option for drinkers who want modern hop character in a lighter beer.
The beer takes its name from the Ouessant sheep, a breed originating on France’s Ouessant Island and known as one of the smallest sheep breeds in the world. The name also fits Pecora Beer’s wider sheep-inspired lineup, which includes beers such as Merino, Black Sheep, and Pecora.
Ouessant is also the first recipe created by brewer Kohei, marking an important step for the brewery. It is Pecora Beer’s first low-alcohol IPA and focuses on balancing drinkability with layered hop aroma.
The beer is available at Pecora Beer Kitchen, the brewery’s taproom, where guests can enjoy up to nine house-made beers alongside food. Comparing Ouessant with other beers in the lineup should offer a clear sense of Pecora Beer’s approach: clean, bold American-style brewing with restrained bitterness.
Light on alcohol but lively in aroma, Ouessant presents a fresh direction for the Kawasaki brewery and is a release worth seeking out at the taproom.
