At the brewpub Yamorido in Kyoto's Fushimi, a new house beer, "Flying Gecko (Amber Ale)," has been released.

Hop BroAt Yamorido in Kyoto's Fushimi, the news is in: the new Flying Gecko has been tapped! A townhouse brewpub adding an amber ale, this is not one to miss.
MugiWait, Yamorido is that place in Fushimi, right? Just hearing new amber ale makes me want to try it!
Hop BroThe specs are great too: IBU 31 and ABV 5.5%, with US-05 yeast and a five-hop blend including Motueka and Mosaic.
MugiWhat?! IBU and US-05 sound like magic spells. Do I have to take a science test before drinking it?
Hop BroNo worries. IBU is just a guide to bitterness, and US-05 is the yeast that ferments and shapes the flavor. In other words, it's a blueprint for drinkability!
MugiOhhh! So what does it taste like? Do the citrus and caramel really come through at the same time?
Hop BroExactly. Gentle citrus from New Zealand hops, caramel-like malt, and then a finish with a lightly roasted coffee note. It's aiming for a light amber experience.
MugiAnd the tap update is impressive too! 6 house beers plus 2 guest beers means you could build a whole tasting route!
Hop BroChakabuki, Piacere!, Dayeasy, Big Storm Mom, Ushi Goroshi, and Flying Gecko, plus Pivo and THE PEACHY as guests. It's a world-tour-level lineup in Fushimi.

Yamorido is known for its space built around a traditional townhouse that blends naturally into the streetscape of Fushimi, along with an on-site brewing system. Centered on locally brewed house beers, it also mixes in guest beers and ciders to create a broad tasting range.
This post also marked the transition from the previous release, <Bonno>, to a new beer, updating the taps for the changing season. For anyone looking to enjoy the malt character of an amber ale, and especially for those who usually drink pale ales, this looks like a beer that will let them check the balance between bright hops and roasted nuance.
