Shizuoka Beer Tasting: Aoi Brewing-English Pale Ale

Aoi Brewing has just come up with a new craft beer of a totally different concept with different hops and malts and a higher alcohol content, proving an ever-constant effort to improve their creations!

English Pale Ale!
Actually this beer was born out an experiment for a new brown ale! A longer fermentation came up with a happy result!

Served on tap
Barley, Australian Galaxy hop and Kent Golding (English) hop, crystal malt and maris otter malts, live yeast
Unfiltered
Alcohol: 6.4 %
Clarity: slightly smoky (normal considering live yeast and being unfiltered), very clean
Color: dark orange
Bubbles: very fine and creamy. long head, light brown hue
Aroma: light, deep and dry. Citruses
Taste: Deep and refreshing attack.
Fruity and dry. Complex. Welcome acidity. Pleasant alcohol.
Oranges, apricot, grapefruit.
Changes little with food.

Overall: a very fine beer! Solid, reliable, complex. Easy to drink despite its higher alcohol content.
Its fruitiness allied to its acidity will please both ladies and gentlemen!
Perfect for a still hot Autumn afternoon or evening!
