Release Information


Miyazaki City’s BMB Brewery announced on Instagram that it will release its new beer, 'Amethyst Eye,' at 3:00 PM on April 14. The style is Smoothie Sour, and the alcohol content is 4.0%. It uses grape, peach, and ice cream as adjunct ingredients, and the post says it can be purchased through the wholesale EC site.

Beer Direction


From the post text, it comes across that this beer is designed not only around a balance of sweetness and acidity, but also with its appearance and texture in mind. While highlighting the thick fruit character derived from grape purée and Kyoho grapes, and the smooth, smoothie-like body, it has been finished with enough definition to avoid becoming merely sweet. For anyone who enjoys a dessert-beer-style drinking experience, this is a very intriguing release.

Brewery Context


BMB Brewery is based in Miyazaki City, Miyazaki Prefecture. From its local base, it has been consistently sharing distinctive fruit-based beers and limited releases. This 'Amethyst Eye' is part of that ongoing line, and is drawing attention as a new release meant to be enjoyed not only for its flavor design, but also for its visual presentation and concept.
