Amaterasu Brewery announced on Instagram that it has newly put its core pale ale, "SURF BLUE," on draft and is also selling it in cans. In the post, the brewery said it had refined the recipe in response to the previous batch winning the Japan Great Beer Award 2026, and that by increasing the hop presence, it has become a more satisfying beer.
As for the impression of the flavor, it is described as having a balance somewhere between an English ale and an IPA. Rather than pushing a strong personality to the forefront, the design appears to preserve the easy-drinking character typical of a pale ale while raising the sense of satisfaction. In addition to enjoying it at the shop on tap, it is also available in cans, making it easy to drink it on site and then take some home if you like it.
