Nagoya Craft Beer Tasting: Y-Market Brewery- Hibiscus Abbey

AOI BEER STAND owned by Aoi Brewery in Miyuki Cho, Aoi Ku, Shizuoka City, has the merit to offer on tap other craft beers from Shizuoka Prefecture and the rest of Japan, but you do have to hurry as they usually served only one keg before switching to another brew!

This time I sampled an intriguing craft beer by Y-Market Brewery in Nagoya City called Hibiscus abbey made with hibiscus flowers (the buds, actually, also called Roselle!)!

Served on tap
Barley, barley malt, hibiscus, hop, live yeast.
Unfiltered
Alcohol: 5%
Bubbles: very fine bubbles. Short head. Pinkish.
Clarity: Slightly smoky (normal considering live yeast and being unfiltered), very clean
Color: Reddish pink
Aroma: Dry and fruity. Flowers. Hibiscus
Taste: Very refreshing, dry and fruity attack.
Very light but lingers long enough for true tasting.
Flowers, hibiscus.

Overall: very intriguing but refreshing craft beer for all seasons! Definitely higher level than a simple thirst quencher.
Will please ladies in particular with its soft, discreet, fresh and elegant approach!
