Great Dane Brewing (Miyagi) has announced a new collaboration release, "ROSÉ IPA." According to the post, the recipe was designed in collaboration with female brewers at Great Dane USA.
The featured hops are New Zealand Nelson Sauvin and French Barbe Rouge. By adding hibiscus, the beer is said to express an aroma and pink hue reminiscent of rosé wine. The fragrance is floral and gentle, the mouthfeel is refreshingly light, and the finish is dry in true IPA fashion.
The post also listed the specs: ABV 5.0% / price 900 yen. For craft beer fans, this is a release worth checking to see how the layered flavors from hops of different origins come together with the character brought by hibiscus.
Looking at the brewery's background, this beer clearly reflects its identity. Great Dane Brewing began in Wisconsin, U.S. in 1994, and opened its brewery in Akiu, Sendai, in January 2024 in Japan. True to the slogan "Wisconsin Born, Sendai Brewed," it has continued to connect American brewing culture with its Miyagi base. This collaboration seems like a release that lets you experience that context in an easy-to-understand way through aroma and color.
