Ise Kadoya Beer to Release FC TOKYO PALE ALE and Memory Bouquet on April 1
Ise Kadoya Beer’s Jinku Brewery previewed two new releases on Instagram on March 30. It is introducing FC TOKYO PALE ALE, a collaboration with FC Tokyo, and Memory Bouquet, a recipe refreshed for its 28th anniversary.
Hop BroHere it is, Ise Kadoya Beer’s two new releases. Starting April 1 online, they’re putting out the FC Tokyo collaboration, "FC TOKYO PALE ALE," and "Memory Bouquet."
MugiWhoa! FC Tokyo as in that FC Tokyo, the soccer club? A collaboration beer already gets me hyped!
Hop BroExactly. FC TOKYO PALE ALE is an American Pale Ale with 5.5% alcohol and IBU 40. It combines aromas like mango and grapefruit with a clean bitterness.
MugiIBU 40, what even is that! I get that it’s a bitterness number, but suddenly it feels all science-y and my brain is tightening up!
Hop BroPut simply, it’s a measure of bitterness. And this one uses a concentrated hop oil called Hyper Boost, which really pushes the hop aroma forward.
MugiPushes it forward how! Do they compress the hops? Concentrated aroma sounds like futuristic tech that already tastes delicious!
Hop BroThat’s the idea. It’s designed so the beer stays easy to drink while the hops still stand out clearly, and the clean bitterness expresses the club’s attitude.
MugiSo it’s one you can drink while cheering! Then what about "Memory Bouquet"? I’m curious because it says bouquet-like aroma!
Hop BroThis one is an Italian Pilsner with 5.0% alcohol and IBU 25. It uses four noble hops to layer in delicate notes like lemongrass and honey, making it a very elegant beer.
MugiAre noble hops the aristocrats of the hop world? When you say elegant hops, it suddenly feels like tea time!
Hop BroIn broad terms, they’re a traditional, aromatic style of hop. Since this is a revival version that revisits the 28th-anniversary recipe, it should feel fresh even to longtime fans.
MugiIse Kadoya Beer coming from a long-established miso and soy sauce brewery is pretty hot too, and it really feels like balancing offense and defense!
Hop BroTotally. It has the flashiness of a collaboration and the careful touch of a revival, so it’s pure Ise Kadoya style. At this point, April 1 feels like a day to drink both.
MugiYeah, my brain is already in toast mode! I want to compare both so badly that I can’t wait for release day!

As a style, it is designed to keep the drinking experience easy to grasp while still letting you clearly feel the character of the hops.
Memory Bouquet
Italian Pilsner. Alcohol 5.0%, IBU 25. Using four types of noble hops, it is said to layer a bouquet-like aroma with delicate flavors reminiscent of lemongrass and honey. It is being introduced as a revival that further refines a recipe loved for 28 years.
