Akari Shogun

◎ Aussehen

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and bright, luminous transparency. A fine, white head forms quickly and disperses to a thin collar with modest lacing. Carbonation is visible and lively throughout.

◌ Aroma

Bright citrus notes lead immediately—lemon-lime and white grapefruit from Motueka and Galaxy hops dominate the nose. A soft, slightly sweet undertone of honey and grain emerges beneath, with a whisper of bready wheat character that grounds the aromatic profile without overwhelming it.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with crisp, zesty citrus from the hops, immediately supported by a light, clean malt base combining pilsner and white wheat. Mid-palate reveals a gentle honey note and subtle breadiness that balances the emerging bitterness. The finish dries cleanly, allowing the grapefruit and lemon notes to persist without harshness.

◑ Abgang

Lingering and dry, with citrus hops taking center stage as the sweetness fades. A refreshing aftertaste that leaves the palate crisp and ready for the next sip.
