Hop BroNara Brewing has a new release, and SPIRAL is here. It's an American Belgo-style ale, and the aroma design is a really interesting part of it.
MugiWait, what's American Belgo? It sounds Belgian, but American too, and the name alone is already confusing me!
Hop BroSimply put, it's like combining the character of Belgian yeast with the brightness of American hops. SPIRAL uses Hüll Melon, Azacca, and Hallertau Blanc to build a strong fruity profile.
MugiWhoa, melon and white grapes? Even though it's beer, it sounds like a fruit parlor!
Hop BroExactly, and the cool part is how the spicy character from saison yeast sits on top of that. It gives you ripe melon and papaya with a subtle sharp edge.
MugiSaison yeast is the one that gives off a spicy aroma, right? The yeast is suddenly the stylish one here!
Hop BroThat's right. And with ABV 6.0% and IBU 20, the mouthfeel stays brisk while the finish still lingers. It's not too bitter, and the aroma does the heavy lifting.
MugiSo it's the kind with a refreshing bitterness that goes down smoothly. I feel like I'd be saying 'this is good' from the very first sip!
Hop BroWhat's more, Nara Brewing is really good at layering aromas. Hearing that it belongs to the same flow as FUNCTION, PASCAL, AXIS, ANGLE, OVAL, and PRISM makes me want to taste the whole series side by side.
MugiWhat, there's that much history?! Hearing it's an evolved form of the same family makes me want to drink it more deeply all over again!
Hop BroIt will be sold in kegs and 350 ml cans, with business sales starting on April 20 at 12:00 and consumer sales starting on April 24 at 12:00. This is definitely one to check on release day and chill ahead of time.
MugiIt's decided! I'm in the mood to drink something right now, and if I open SPIRAL, it feels like I could travel somewhere just through the aroma!
Nara Brewing (Kitanosho Nishimachi, Nara City) is a craft beer brewery founded in 2017. Under the banner of 'the joy of choosing beer,' it continues to brew beers with an emphasis on combining styles and carefully designing aromas.
The newly released 'SPIRAL' is an American Belgo-style ale. With an ABV of 6.0% and IBU 20, it uses Hüll Melon, Azacca, and Hallertau Blanc as its hops. In a post, it is introduced as a beer whose flavor layers the aromas of ripe melon, papaya, and white grapes with the spiciness derived from saison yeast. When you take a sip, a refreshing bitterness with a fruity character lingers in the finish.
Nara Brewing is also a brewery that has long worked with this style. Its standard product 'FUNCTION' is also a beer in the same vein, and this 'SPIRAL' is one bottle in that lineage. The post also explains that it belongs to the same family as 'PASCAL,' 'AXIS,' 'ANGLE,' 'OVAL,' and 'PRISM' that it has brewed in the past, showing that by changing the hop combination, the aroma impression can change greatly even within the same American Belgo style.
Sales will be offered in kegs and 350 ml cans. Business e-commerce sales are scheduled to begin on April 20 at 12:00, and general e-commerce sales are scheduled to begin on April 24 at 12:00. This is a new release that feels quintessentially Nara Brewing, proposing a wide range of aromas and styles from its Nara base, and it deserves attention.
