Shizuoka Summer Mikan Ale

◎ Aussehen

Pale straw yellow with exceptional clarity and brilliant transparency. A delicate white head forms quickly but recedes rapidly, leaving minimal lacing on the glass. Fine carbonation evident throughout, with steady streams of tiny bubbles rising through the clear body.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by bright natsumikan citrus—fragrant and inviting with a distinctive mandarin-like character. Subtle floral notes emerge beneath the fruit, adding refinement without competing. The aroma is clean and appetizing, with no malt or yeast presence to distract from the citrus showcase.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is tart and crisp, with sharp citric acidity that snaps across the palate. Mid-palate balances this tartness with a quiet, restrained sweetness—never cloying, always vibrant and alive. Bitterness is minimal at 15 IBU, allowing the natural juiciness and acidity of the fruit to dominate the flavor evolution.

◑ Abgang

The carbonation snaps the finish short and clean, leaving a bright, refreshing aftertaste dominated by citric dryness. No lingering sweetness or weight—only fresh fruit and lingering tartness that invites another sip.

Serviertemperatur 6–9°C für das beste Geschmacks- und Aromaprofil.

Der Klassiker — vielseitig, angenehm zu halten und hält das Bier kühl. Kein Schnickschnack: nur das Bier.
