Tsukuba Brewery begins canned sales of Fukure Mikan Ale at the Tsukuba foothills brewery and Doho Park front store
Tsukuba Brewery has started selling canned Fukure Mikan Ale, a fruit saison made with Fukure mikan. The beer made its early debut at last week's Tsukuba Fest, and will be available at the Tsukuba foothills brewery and the Doho Park front store.
Hop BroTsukuba Brewery has started selling canned Fukure Mikan Ale. And you can buy it at the Tsukuba Foothills Brewery and the Doho Park front store, which really brings out the local flavor.
MugiWhoa, it's out in cans! The one that premiered at Tsukuba Fest is already available to buy, which is such a nice surprise.
Hop BroThe style is Fruit Saison, and the alcohol content is 5.0%. Its charm is the way it layers fruit notes on top of the light, lively character of a saison.
MugiF-fuit saison? What is that! It sounds like some kind of fancy spell. What does it taste like?
Hop BroBasically, it's a beer with a refreshing, sparkling character, layered with fruit aroma and tartness. When Fukure mikan is added this time, the aroma really opens up.
MugiOh, I see! And Fukure mikan is a specialty of the Tsukuba foothills, right? I love the idea of using local ingredients directly in beer.
Hop BroExactly. They brew it with plenty of the peel and flesh, so it gives off a bright aroma. The citrus scent comes first, then a gentle sweetness follows.
MugiThe peel means the orange skin, right? Adding even that much makes the beer feel like a research lab all of a sudden!
Hop BroThat's right. The components in the peel build aromatic depth, which gives it three-dimensional aroma. It also fits perfectly with Tsukuba Brewery's long-running focus on local ingredients.
MugiAnd at 660 yen for a can, it's really easy to pick up! This is one you can casually try to taste the flavor grown at the foot of Mt. Tsukuba.
Hop BroJust talking about it makes my throat want a sip. If it has that refreshing tartness and sweetness, I want to chill one and open it tonight.
MugiYeah, and I'm curious about how it does in stores, too. I definitely want to grab a can first! Tsukuba Brewery's love for the local area makes me want to drink and support them.
