MugiWait, beer with osmanthus!? Can you really drink that sweet-smelling flower?
Hop BroYou can! It is a crisp, easygoing Kölsch-style beer, and this batch uses a higher-grade osmanthus.
MugiWhat even is Kölsch!? That name sounds like a surprise German quiz is about to begin!
Hop BroIt is a pale, approachable beer style from Cologne, Germany. This one has a dry, clean finish, so the floral aroma never feels heavy.
MugiOhhh! So it is refreshing, not like drinking perfume. And that clear golden color sounds like an autumn evening in a glass!
Hop BroIts aromatic backbone comes from Czech Sladek and Saaz hops. Their elegant herbal character layers beautifully with the osmanthus.
MugiNoble hops... are they hop aristocrats!? Hop Bro, please do not start explaining the hop peerage system!
Hop BroHa! Basically, they bring refined rather than flashy aromas. At 4.5% ABV and 10.95 IBU, it has very gentle bitterness, too.
MugiHerb-grilled chicken, white-fish carpaccio, and even a vanilla ice cream pairing!? My stomach has a packed itinerary today!
Hop BroThis time it is available in cans too, while the pub near Mishima Station offers 24 taps. Let’s enjoy an autumn aroma in a glass.
MugiAbsolutely! Take a deep breath when you spot osmanthus, then raise a can when you spot this. Let’s toast with Gomaihana no Kinmokusei!
A Kölsch-style beer inspired by autumn osmanthus
Repubrew Mishima Slider House 24taps has brought back Gomaibanohana no Kinmokusei. The beer was originally brewed for the anniversary of the Mishima location, and this new version uses higher-grade osmanthus to create a richer aroma. Its hop composition has also been revised.
The beer is built in a crisp Kölsch style. Czech hop Sladek is used for bittering, adding a refined noble-hop character, while Sladek and Saaz contribute herbal and lightly fruity notes. These hop impressions blend with the sweet, gentle fragrance of osmanthus.
Crisp carbonation and a dry finish
In the glass, the beer presents a clear gold color reminiscent of osmanthus flowers. Firm carbonation gives it a lively, refreshing character, while German malt provides a soft foundation before the finish turns dry. At 4.5% ABV and 10.95 IBU, its bitterness is restrained and the beer is suited to food pairing.
Suggested pairings include grilled herb chicken, white-fish carpaccio, and vanilla ice cream. The first two dishes should complement the beer’s delicate herbal and floral profile, while the dessert highlights the sweet aroma of osmanthus.
This release is also available in cans, making it easier to enjoy beyond the taproom. Located in Mishima, Shizuoka, Repubrew Mishima Slider House 24taps offers a 24-tap craft beer lineup in a casual beer-pub setting.
