Minoh Brewery releases High Color Pils, an Italian pilsner
Minoh Brewery in Osaka’s Minoh City will release a new beer called High Color Pils on July 3. Built on the Italian pilsner style, the beer updates a yearly favorite with a new name and design.
Hop BroI want to talk about Haikara Pils today. Minoh Brewery in Osaka is launching a newly redesigned Italian Pilsner-style beer on July 3.
MugiWait, Italian Pilsner? So it is a pilsner, but also Italian? Does it introduce itself with a plate of pasta?
Hop BroThat is the fun part. It is built on a pilsner base, but the hop aroma is pushed forward, and this one uses plenty of noble hops.
MugiWhat is that! Noble hops sounds so fancy. Are these hops wearing little crowns or something?
Hop BroNo crowns, just elegance. They are traditional German hops with a refined aroma, and this recipe even adds dry hopping during fermentation.
MugiWhoa, dry hopping during fermentation sounds like a chemistry class ambushed my beer. What does that actually do?
Hop BroBasically, hops are added later instead of being boiled, so the aroma stays vivid. You get soft malt, rounded hop character, and a light crisp bitterness on the finish.
MugiOh, that sounds good... and Minoh Beer is all about everyday drinkable beer, right? That makes this feel instantly trustworthy.
Hop BroExactly. It uses a different recipe and hop approach from their regular pilsner, so this is perfect for a side-by-side tasting. The refreshed label and new monkey design are part of the appeal too.
MugiAnd the online shop opens at 5 p.m. on July 3, right? I can already see myself pretending to work while gripping my phone.
Hop BroIt should also show up at WAREHOUSE and liquor shops, so I want to grab it the second I see it. A patiently fermented and matured deep yet clean pour like this is hard to ignore.
MugiI am fully at I need this now level. Elegant, approachable, and called Haikara Pils? That already sounds like a toast waiting to happen.
Minoh Brewery, based in Minoh City, Osaka, will begin selling a new beer called High Color Pils on July 3. The release is built on the Italian pilsner style, one of the brewery’s favorite annual recipes, and arrives with a refreshed name and design.
According to the brewery’s post, German noble hops are used generously both at the brewing stage and as dry hops during fermentation. The result is described as a beer with a soft malt character, an elegant and rounded hop aroma, and a light bitterness on the finish. Fermentation and maturation are also given plenty of time, creating a pilsner that is both flavorful and clean.
Minoh Beer’s official philosophy is to brew everyday beer rather than something special, and that approach fits this release well. The new beer differs from the regular Pilsner in both recipe and hop usage, so tasting them side by side should make the differences easy to notice.
Sales start at 5 p.m. on July 3 through the online shop, with availability also expected at the WAREHOUSE taproom and at bars and retailers that carry Minoh Beer. The post also mentions a new High Color Osaru design element, suggesting that the package refresh is part of the story as well.
