Libushi releases "Hesitation," a Belgian Pale Ale with daidai and Timur
Libushi in Yokohama has introduced "Hesitation," a collaboration beer built on a Belgian Pale Ale base and brewed with daidai and Timur. The post links the release to eyewear created by MICHIO of Suteki Megane and B Mark Market Kubo Shoten.
Hop BroI wanted to talk about Satobushi's new release today. They just dropped a collaboration beer called "Hesitation."
MugiWait, a beer named Hesitation? That sounds shy, but this release really doesn't!
Hop BroThe base style is Belgian Pale Ale with daidai and timur, so the aroma setup is doing something pretty interesting.
MugiWhat is that, who even is Timur? Are we discussing beer or a surprise band member?
Hop BroFair question. It's a Nepali peppercorn that adds citrusy, spicy aromatics, so it plays really well with the daidai.
MugiOhh, okay! But then I read esters hold it together and suddenly it felt like science class again.
Hop BroThat basically means yeast-driven fruity aroma. It keeps the beer light and Belgian-style while tying the whole thing together.
MugiSo balance is the star! Bright citrus, a spicy lift, and still easy-drinking? That's kind of unfair.
Hop BroExactly, and Satobushi is a brewpub in Bashamichi in Yokohama, so limited in-house beers like this are very much their thing.
MugiAnd this was brewed for an eyeglasses sales collab? That is absurdly stylish in the best possible way.
Hop BroYeah, it ties back to MICHIO and B-jirushi MARKET Kubo Shoten, and it sounds like a beer to chase aromas with, either on its own or with food.
MugiThen I'm going in with zero hesitation. Pour me that daidai-scented Belgian Pale Ale right now!
Libushi, based in Yokohama, announced a new beer on Instagram called "Hesitation." The beer is described as a Belgian Pale Ale with daidai and Timur, and the post says it was brewed to mark the release of eyewear connected to MICHIO of Suteki Megane and B Mark Market Kubo Shoten.
The beer's focus is described as balance. Daidai brings a citrus note, Timur adds a peppery aromatic layer, and yeast-driven esters help tie the profile together. The result appears to be a Belgian Pale Ale that keeps a light, approachable structure while still showing clear aromatic detail.
Libushi is known as a brewpub in the Bashamichi area of Yokohama, where it has built a reputation for small-batch, on-site brewing. In that context, "Hesitation" fits the brewery's approach well: a limited release designed to work on its own, but also to pair naturally with food as a table beer with a bit of extra aroma and character.
Information may be inaccurate. Please refer to the brewery’s official channels for the latest details.
