In a post published at 22:41 on February 20, Hyogo-based Ebiru Brew Studio gave a detailed introduction to its new release, "TWO APPLES GRAFF." Available since the end of January, the beer is a Graff style that blends cider and beer. Made with Kogyoku and Orin apples, its defining feature is a recipe with a juice ratio of over 50%.
Hop BroHyogo's Ebiru Brew Studio is coming in strong again! Their new release is "TWO APPLES GRAFF." It's a Graff style that blends cider and beer.
MugiWhoa! What even is Graff? That name alone is already way too stylish!
Hop BroIt's a hybrid style where apple juice and malt are fermented together. And the juice ratio is over 50%. It's basically a "double threat" of apples and beer.
MugiHuh! More than half apples? That's basically the fruit king of the beer world!
Hop BroThey use Kogyoku and Orin apples from the Akita cidery OK,ADAM. The balance of Kogyoku's sharp tartness and Orin's mellow sweetness is really well done.
MugiI see... so is it on the sweet side? Or is it bitter like beer?
Hop BroThe specs are ABV 5% and IBU 12, so it's pretty light. They use El Dorado hops, layering fruitiness over the apple aroma. IBU is a bitterness indicator, and 12 is very gentle.
MugiWhat? So the numbers are technical, but the taste is gentle! I could drink that so easily!
Hop BroIt apparently starts clean and crisp, then as it warms up, the apple sweetness comes out softly. They even recommend it as a drink to enjoy with food, and they added a playful touch by drawing an apple illustration on the fermentation tank.
MugiThat's the best! If that's the one leading the rush of new releases, then I have nothing but high expectations! Hey, Hop-nii, let's open "TWO APPLES GRAFF" tonight! My mouth is already waiting for apple beer!
The center of the new release information shared by Ebiru Brew Studio is "TWO APPLES GRAFF." The style is Graff, a hybrid that ferments apple juice and malt together, with specs of ABV 5% / IBU 12.
According to the post, the apples used were two varieties sourced from the Akita cidery OK,ADAM. By combining the tart Kogyoku with the mellow sweetness of Orin, the recipe was crafted so that juice accounts for more than 50% of the whole. El Dorado hops are used to layer a fruity profile over the apple-derived aroma.
As for the flavor description, it starts off bright and refreshing on the palate. As the temperature rises, the sweetness and character of the apples become more pronounced. It is positioned not only as a first drink for winter, but also as a beverage to enjoy with food, making it suitable for a wide range of drinking occasions.
