MugiWhoa! An IPA with sake lees? What even is that! If they put sake lees into beer, it feels like something wild is about to happen!
Hop BroWhat it uses is Shizuoka's famed sake lees, plus special junmai sake lees made from Homare Fuji. So this isn't just a curveball; it really brings out Shizuoka's local ingredients.
MugiOhhh! But if they add sake lees, does the beer get sweeter? Or does it taste more like sake? I can't quite picture the flavor!
Hop BroIn terms of direction, it seems to layer in sake-like aromas while keeping the hop character of an IPA. The post describes it as having a sharp outline, so the drinking impression sounds pretty crisp.
MugiSharp and still an IPA? That's a lot! And then it also has satisfying body? Isn't that the most indulgent combo ever?
Hop BroWhat's more, this series is introduced as the latest installment in the world gold medal-winning sake lees IPA series. Building on an already proven lineage, this time they have taken the Shizuoka character even further.
MugiWow, it sounds like something worth rooting for! And the post says with a hint of strawberry too, which is such a sneaky little extra layer.
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. When a gentle fruity note peeks through the calm finish of the sake lees, it suddenly becomes much more three-dimensional. It makes sense that they call it ideal as a beer to enjoy with meals.
MugiSo it's the kind of beer where once you start drinking it with food, you can't stop! Drinking it in a place like mayu, where you can take your time and savor it, sounds amazing!
Hop BroExactly. Drinking a beer made with Shizuoka ingredients, in Shizuoka, is already the best context possible. Today, the kind of beer where "just one glass" is dangerous.
MugiYeah, this makes me want to go! Shoseki Sake Lees IPA with a snack in hand would be pure happiness!
