Hop BroNara Brewing is putting out a new sour ale with raspberry and vanilla. It’s called "STUDY IN ROUGE," and it’s arriving with a very springlike vibe.
MugiWait, raspberry and vanilla? That sounds like dessert! A beer with that combo has me really curious!
Hop BroThe style is FRUIT SOUR ALE w/ VANILLA. It’s ABV 6.0% and IBU 8, so it puts sweet-tartness in the spotlight while keeping bitterness very low.
MugiIBU 8 means it’s basically not bitter, right? That number makes it sound like something even I could get into!
Hop BroExactly. With such a low bitterness rating, the aroma and fruit character come through more clearly. And with strong carbonation, it’s designed to pop the moment it hits your mouth.
MugiWow, a pink-looking pour and everything? It’s already cute before you even drink it! I can imagine getting instantly excited when it’s poured into a glass!
Hop BroThe tasting notes say the raspberry fragrance is layered with mellow vanilla, and after you swallow, a soft finish lingers. It’s well done because it doesn’t stop at fruitiness alone.
MugiWhat, a soft aftertaste? That sounds amazing! If it’s too sour, my face tightens up, but this seems gentle!
Hop BroThe hops are Merkur, and the malts include Pale Ale Malt, Munich Malt Type1, Wheat Malt Pale, and Acidulated Malt, so it’s built with a solid foundation of aroma and acidity.
MugiOhh! So the business-to-business sale starts at 12:00 on April 6, and the general consumer sale starts at 12:00 on April 17. I need to check the release date and get ready to drink it!
Hop BroWith Nara Brewing’s careful craftsmanship, this looks like a very appealing spring beer. Just thinking about the raspberry and vanilla aroma makes me want to drink it already.
MugiYeah, I’m totally in that mood too! I want to drink it right now - my mouth is already searching for a sour ale!
Nara Brewing (Kitanosho Nishimachi, Nara City) has announced the release of its fruit sour ale "STUDY IN ROUGE." The style is `FRUIT SOUR ALE w/ VANILLA`, with ABV 6.0% and IBU 8. On its official website, it is 소개ced as a beer made with framboise and vanilla, designed to express a balance of sweet-tartness and layered aroma.
The tasting notes are equally straightforward. Poured into a glass, it shows a spring-like pink hue, while the aroma layers raspberry fragrance with mellow vanilla. On the palate, the beer opens with a strong carbonation and a sweet-tart raspberry character, and after swallowing, a gentle vanilla note drifts away. Its defining feature is a structure that puts fruitiness front and center while leaving a soft aftertaste.
On the spec side, the hops used are Merkur, and the malts are Pale Ale Malt, Munich Malt Type1, Wheat Malt Pale, and Acidulated Malt. The color is Rose Gold. As a beer, it carries acidity, but the key point is that it does not lean into sourness alone; instead, it neatly layers the impressions of raspberry and vanilla.
