Pecora Beer Announces Cold IPA "Finn" with Rice for a Clean Finish
Pecora Beer, based in Aso Ward, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, unveiled its new beer "#053 Finn / Finn" on Instagram. This Cold IPA is brewed with rice and lager yeast, and features citrus notes and vivid hop aroma from Citra, Cryo Simcoe, and Dynaboost.
Hop BroPecora Beer has released a new Cold IPA called "Finn." It's from the brewery in Aso Ward, Kawasaki City, and the numbers are ABV 5.5% and IBU 54. You can really see the design here: strong hop presence, but a light, easy-drinking finish.
MugiWhoa! Even the name "Finn" sounds cool! But wait, does Cold IPA mean an IPA that's been chilled cold? It sounds like it might be frozen solid, which is kind of scary!
Hop BroThat's a pretty common misunderstanding. Because it's brewed with lager yeast, the result tends to be clearer and crisper than an ale-based IPA. It doesn't mean it was frozen in a freezer; the fermentation approach is different.
MugiOhhh! So it has a clean finish, but still keeps that IPA aroma? That's like a full package deal, kind of unfair!
Hop BroExactly. The stars here are Citra and Cryo Simcoe, which really push the citrus and juiciness forward. And because they even use Dynaboost, the aroma rises easily the moment it's poured.
MugiWhat is that!? What is Dynaboost? It sounds like a special move, like they're turning hops into a beam attack!
Hop BroNice reaction. Dynaboost is a concentrated hop extract, and it helps lock aroma into the liquid. In other words, the fresh aroma comes through from the moment it hits the glass. It's like a toast that starts at your nose.
MugiWow, it smells that much? And the article says they use rice too, so it makes sense that the mouthfeel would be light. Adding rice makes beer gentler, huh!
Hop BroExactly. Using rice keeps the body from getting too heavy, so the hop character comes through more clearly. And with an IBU of 54, they are aiming for a balance where the bitterness is present but it doesn't wear you out as you drink it.
MugiPecora Beer seems to be on a "clean and bold" kind of path. Hearing that the brewery in Aso Ward is brewed by someone with beer judging qualifications makes it sound even more convincing!
Hop BroAnd at the attached Pecora Beer Kitchen, you can drink up to nine varieties too. Being able to follow a new release like Finn at the taproom is great, and this is definitely one of those "I want to drink it right now" beers.
MugiYeah! A Cold IPA bursting with citrus hops sounds amazing, and it's definitely the kind of beer that must taste great! Today, I can only see a future where we toast with Finn!
