Hop BroThe new release from Manchin Brewing in Hokuto, Yamanashi, SUN SONG, is pretty bold.
MugiWait, I thought it was going to be something refreshing just from the name, but it has green chili peppers in it?!
Hop BroIt’s a pale ale with an ABV of 5.0% and an IBU of 25, so it’s designed to be easy to drink, but it still has real character.
MugiThere’s IBU again! So that means the bitterness number? I don’t really get it—sounds complicated!
Hop BroRight, it’s basically a guide to bitterness. And this time, because it has the sweetness of summer mikan, it doesn’t end up being just spicy.
MugiHuh, green chili peppers and summer mikan sound like they’d clash, but it actually works?
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part: they pair Korean green chili peppers with AMBESSA&CO’s pesticide-free summer mikan, so the bright aroma and the sharp edge of the heat both come through.
MugiWow, just hearing that makes it feel so summer-like! But if it leaves a chili heat on the finish, that’s a little exciting!
Hop BroManchin Brewing is a brewery that values the character of Hokuto, so they’ve made it into a food-pairing beer that really shines with meals.
MugiThis is totally making me want something crisp and refreshing! I’m in the mood to drink SUN SONG today!
Yamanashi Prefecture’s Hokuto-based Manchin Brewing has released a new beer, SUN SONG. It is a pale ale with an ABV of 5.0% and an IBU of 25. Featuring a combination of green chili peppers and summer mikan, it has a distinctly summery profile.
For this batch, in addition to Korean green chili peppers, the brewery used pesticide-free summer mikan delivered by AMBESSA&CO. According to Manchin Brewing, using summer mikan harvested later in the season, with its richer sweetness, helped balance the beer’s spiciness. One of its defining traits is that, beyond the bright fruit character, it leaves a clear chili sensation on the finish.
