Guest beer spotlight: Suika

OUR STORE in Hiroshima's Nobori-machi shared a guest beer from Derailleur Brew Works: "Suika". The shop is known as a craft-beer-centered select store, so it is the kind of place where browsing the lineup is part of the experience.

"Suika" is an 8% ABV Imperial Watermelon Smoothie Sour. In the post, it is described as a grown-up smoothie beer built around a nostalgic watermelon-candy-like impression. The result is a beer that keeps the juicy watermelon feel while adding sweetness and a bright, refreshing edge.
