Shizuoka Beer Tasting: Aoi Brewing-Yakima Valley Pale Ale

Aoi Brewing Co. has come up with yet another new craft beer!
This time it has a strong link with the USA as it used a hop made in Yakima valley, Washington State, a region that produces 75% of all hop grown in The USA!

Yakima Valley Pale Ale!

Served on tap
Barley Australian Galaxy hop, Willamette hop, Maris Otter malt, Crystal Hop
ABV: 4.7 %
Clarity: slightly smoky (normal considering live yeast and being unfiltered), very clean
Color: deep orange color
Bubbles: long head. Very fine bubbles, creamy. slightly orange White.
Aroma: light, bread, yeast
Taste: refreshing and dry attack with plenty of welcome acidity which nonetheless disappears very quickly.
Bread, dry fruits, persimmon, hints of oranges.
Lingers long enough for true tasting.
varies little with food.

Overall: A beer not great for refreshing yourself all year long, especially in the summer, but also excellent accompaniment to food, especially cold meat and cheese!
Definitely a long seller in the offing!
