KAMIKATZ Beer is introducing a saison called “TOWN CRAFT - Beer for Thinking About the Future of the Town - / YUKOH SAISON,” made with fully ripened yuko from Kamikatsu Town. It is a seasonal beer with a dry finish layered with the sweetness and citrus character of yuko.
Hop BroKAMIKATZ Beer has a new release, and YUKOH SAISON is here. It’s a seasonal saison made with fully ripened yuko from Kamikatsu Town.
MugiWait, fully ripened yuko? What’s that!? Is it different from regular yuzu? It already sounds delicious just from the name!
Hop BroYuko is a citrus fruit from Kamikatsu Town, and when it fully ripens, it develops a mellow sweetness. Layer that with a solid citrus character, and the aroma comes across really cleanly.
MugiBut saison is supposed to have a dry finish, right? How does that work with sweet citrus? My brain is getting tangled up!
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part: the ester aroma from saison yeast brings out a banana-like fruitiness, and it also adds a clove-like spice character. The yuko sits lightly on top of that.
MugiBanana, clove, and yuko? That’s a major aroma traffic jam! But if it’s dry, it sounds like something you could drink by the glass really easily, which might actually be dangerous.
Hop BroThe specs are solid too: ABV 5.0%, IBU 18. The malt bill includes Lager Malt and Wheat Malt, the hops are Cascade and Motueka, and the yeast is LalBrew Belgium Abbaye.
MugiWow, it’s well put together, but it still has a playful side! And making it in the context of zero-waste is pretty cool.
Hop BroExactly. It reflects the way Kamikatsu uses local resources, and the name a beer for thinking about the future of the town makes perfect sense. You can also enjoy it at RISE & WIN Brewing Co. BBQ & General Store.
MugiSo it pulls you in with yuko’s aroma and also goes well with food? That’s the best. Okay, this is definitely one I want to drink right now!
