Shizuoka Beer Tasting: Aoi Brewing-Alt

Things are getting at Aoi Brewing with the first arrival of a totally new batch!

Incidentally all the summer beers so far reviewed will disappear except for the mild ale!
The very newest one is Alt!

Served on tap
Barley, barley hops, roasted malt, live yeast
Unfiltered
Alcohol: 5.5 %
Clarity: slightly smoky (normal considering live yeast and being unfiltered), very clean
Color: dark brown
Bubbles: very fine and creamy. shortish head, light brown
Aroma: light and dry. Citruses
Taste: dry and deep, refreshing. Great character.
Roasted coffee beans, dry caramel, toasted bread.
Pleasant and well-balanced.
Practically doesn’t change with food.

Overall: Both refreshing and solid. Very well-balanced. Very pleasant acidity.
A great general improvement on already fine craft beers.
Very reliable and fulfilling, but still refreshing.
Although dry with pleasant acidity, it should please both genders!
