Hop BroBreaking news: Yokohama Beer Brewery's new Yokohama Saison release has been set for April 1.
MugiWhat! Just hearing about a spring new release gets me excited, and it's a new product from Yokohama Beer too, so now I'm curious!
Hop BroThe base is saison, and the key point is that it layers Krush-hop-derived citrus and tropical notes on top of the spicy, bright character.
MugiWhat is that! Those words you mentioned earlier, like "phenolic" and "ester," are so much like magic spells that I got left behind!
Hop BroIt sounds complicated, but phenolics are pepper-like aromas and esters are fruit-like aromas, so basically it's a division of aroma roles.
MugiOhhh! So the saison's spiciness and the hop's fruitiness are riding together, like a two-stage rocket of aroma!
Hop BroWhat's more, Yokohama Beer has been brewing since 1999 as a long-established local brewery, and with UMAYA in Sumiyoshicho included, it has a solid history of local roots.
MugiThe concept of delivering a "take a breather" moment on a busy day really gets to me... a beer that helps you loosen your shoulders sounds amazing.
Hop BroThe release date is April 1, so check it for sure. I think it's a strong spring candidate for both saison fans and people who love hop aromas.
MugiIt's decided! I'm clearing my schedule that day and going all in, starting with checking the aroma on the first sip!
Hop BroNice, then let's make "take a breather" our toast, and after work we'll raise a glass with Yokohama Saison.
Yokohama Beer Brewery (Kanagawa) announced the release of its new product, "Yokohama Saison," in an official Instagram post. According to the post, the release date is April 1.
This new beer is based on the saison style, whose name means "season" in French, and is designed with a light, refreshing feel in mind. The description also refers to the historical background of Belgian farmers quenching their thirst between summer tasks in the fields, while emphasizing the style’s defining spicy character and lively aroma. It further says that the popular Krush hop adds flavors reminiscent of citrus and tropical fruit.
The central message is "take a breather." The product concept clearly conveys the brewery’s intention to offer a moment of relaxation in the middle of a busy daily life through beer.
According to its official information, Yokohama Beer operates as a local beer company with a long history in Yokohama City. It began brewing beer in 1999, and at its base in Sumiyoshicho, Naka Ward, Yokohama, it also runs its flagship restaurant, "UMAYA." As a new release from a brewery that continues to build ties with the local community, it is worth watching as a potential spring staple.
For saison fans, and for anyone who enjoys bright hop-driven aromas, checking the release date early is recommended.
