Our Store in Hiroshima adds gogoshima beer farm's 'Nakajima Mikanshu / Nakajima Vacation'
Our Store in Hiroshima's Nobori-cho has added gogoshima beer farm's original ale, 'Nakajima Mikanshu / Nakajima Vacation.' The 5% ABV fruit ale features bright citrus from navel oranges and a fruity finish.
Hop BroAwastore in Nobori-cho just got Nakajima Bakanshu / Nakajima Vacance. It’s an original ale brewed by gogoshima beer farm, and it sounds perfect for early summer.
MugiWhat! That name is intense! Nakajima Vacance sounds like a beer that files your vacation request for you!
Hop BroAnd it’s a 5% ABV fruit ale. It uses seasonal navel oranges, so you get bright citrus and an easy-drinking profile.
MugiHold on, ABV 5% is a thing I’m supposed to know? I thought that was the score for deliciousness!
Hop BroABV is basically the alcohol strength. At 5%, it should feel light enough for a casual pint without getting too heavy.
MugiOooh, so the navel orange citrus should make it super refreshing! But with a name like Vacance, my brain is already on a beach.
Hop BroThen you get a fruity lingering finish from the ale yeast. Yeast is like the backstage pro that secretly shapes the whole aroma.
MugiWait, ale yeast does all that? That’s not a backstage helper, that’s the full-on director of the show!
Hop BroIt’s also a commemorative beer for the Orange Blossom Music Festival on Nakajima in Ehime. Even the story behind it feels fresh and summery.
MugiNow I’m in. A limited guest beer like that showing up in central Hiroshima is exactly the kind of thing I want to chase down!
Hop Brogogoshima beer farm is based on Gogo Island, and they aim for beer you never tire of. That food-friendly, balanced approach really comes through here.
MugiI’m officially thirsty. I want that early-summer vacation mood in a glass, so let’s head to Awastore before it sells out!

The beer highlighted in the post is 'Nakajima Mikanshu / Nakajima Vacation,' brewed by gogoshima beer farm.

That approach comes through here as a beer built around aroma, fruit character, and drinkability rather than heavy bitterness.
