Hop BroIchimaruyon Brewery in Toki City, Gifu Prefecture, has brought out "RED PERIOD" as its new No. 10 release. Starting with Golden Week business days for sales feels perfect for the holiday stretch, doesn’t it?
MugiWait, it’s the new No. 10!? Ten releases already means they’re moving at a pretty serious pace. And the name RED PERIOD sounds kind of powerful!
Hop BroThe style is Irish-Style Red Ale, you know. Instead of hitting you with flashy hops, it’s the kind that quietly shows off with malt sweetness and a red color.
MugiI get the malt sweetness, but what is roasted character? Does that mean burnt? It sounds kind of bitter to me!
Hop BroThat part matters: it’s a light roasted character. Not a coffee-like punch, just a faint toasted note. So it has the richness you want in a red beer, but it doesn’t drink too heavy.
MugiOhhh! So it probably has some caramel richness too. I like that it’s not just sweet, but also has real depth of flavor!
Hop BroExactly. And with ABV 5.0% and IBU 20, even the numbers say it’s designed to be easygoing. The bitterness is gentle, so it feels like a red beer you can take your time with.
MugiIBU 20 means the bitterness is really gentle! It sounds like it would pair well with food, and it’d probably be nice to sip on its own too!
Hop BroRight, it’s a beer you’ll want to sip slowly. Rather than flashiness, it focuses on balance, and that’s what makes RED PERIOD feel so true to the red-beer style.
MugiAnd it’s only open on May 2 and 3? That makes it feel extra special! Now I want to go to Toki City and toast with a red beer right now!
