MugiWhoa, what is that? The name Sakekasu Hazy IPA sounds tough and stylish at the same time!
Hop BroWhat's more, it's a collaboration with Shimizu Seizaburo Shoten in Mie, and it uses sake lees from the sake "Zaku". It already feels like a spring-limited release.
MugiBeer made with sake lees!? So what exactly is hazy IPA anyway? Is it the murky kind?
Hop BroExactly. Its appearance is a cloudy orange, and that cloudy orange color makes an impression right away. It's the kind of beer that makes you think, 'Oh, this one's here.'
MugiWow! And it even has a white-wine-like note in the aroma? That suddenly gives it a very grown-up beer vibe!
Hop BroOn top of that, orange, mango, and even pineapple, apple, and banana from the ginjo aromas are layered in, so the layers of fruitiness are really thick.
MugiIt sounds so substantial, but the soft mouthfeel is the sneaky part! It looks heavy, but it probably goes down smoothly!
Hop BroThe bitterness is mild, and it finishes with a slightly dry edge. Then the aftertaste of sake lees lingers, so the Japanese character really comes through.
MugiChasing guest beers like this at a place like Taru Taru is the best! I already feel like I want to go get a glass right now!
At Taru Taru, a beer pub in Kawaramachi, Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture, an Instagram post introduced Isekadoya Beer’s "Sakekasu Hazy IPA ZAKU Shinryoku." It is described as a hazy IPA made with sake lees from the sake "Zaku," in collaboration with Mie brewery Shimizu Seizaburo Shoten.
The beer’s appearance is striking, with a cloudy orange color. Its aroma carries notes reminiscent of orange and mango, layered with hints of white wine in the background. On top of that, a gentle fruitiness from ginjo-derived aromas like pineapple, apple, and banana rises subtly.
The mouthfeel is soft, with richness that never becomes too heavy. Bitterness is restrained, and the finish leaves a slightly dry, crisp impression. Because it can be enjoyed all the way through to the aftertaste of sake lees that resembles amazake, it stands out as a beer for those who want to explore both the fruitiness of a hazy IPA and the nuances derived from Japanese sake. The post also mentioned it as the 13th re-release of the "anniversary beer" first unveiled at Isekadoya Beer’s anniversary festival, conveying the appeal of following guest beers at beer pubs like Taru Taru.
