Shizuoka Beer Tasting: Aoi Brewing-Pale Ale (New Version!)

Just tasted a new version of Aoi Brewing’s Pale Ale at AOI BEER STAND in Shizuoka City!

It is a new version of their Pale Ale although they didn’t come with a new name!
The ingredients are the same, but more skills have been used into its brewing!

Served on tap
barley, Maris Otter malt, Crystal malt, Australian galaxy hop, Kent Holding hop
Unfiltered
Alcohol: 5.6%
Bubbles: very fine bubbles. Long head. Creamy. White
Clarity: Slightly smoky (normal considering live yeast and being unfiltered), very clean
Color: Deep persimmon color
Aroma: Fresh and dry. Bread
Taste: Refreshing, dry and very fruity attack.
Complex with a great balance between acidity and fruitiness.
Citruses, bread.
Acidity and umami tending to compete in turns for recognition with fruitiness.
Otherwise stays true to first impressions all the way through.
Lingers long enough in palate for true tasting before departing on an even drier note with nuts.

Overall: very impressive improvement on an already top-class craft beer!
Very complex with dryness, fruitiness and umami constantly fighting for supremacy.
Another log-seller for all genders and seasons intheoffing!
