Tochigi Beer Tasting: Ushitora Brewery-Hey! Nenooki Koohii/Wake-up Coffee

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 tasted another interesting craft beer from Ushitora Brewery in Tochigi Prefecture: “Nenooki Koohii/Wake-up Coffee”!

Served on tap
Barley, 4 types of malt including “2 row” malt, Northern brewer hop, live yeast. Coffee beans
Unfiltered
Alcohol/ABV: 4.4 %
IBU: 25
Bubbles: very fine bubbles. Long head. Creamy. Milk coffee color
Clarity: slightly smoky (normal considering live yeast and being unfiltered), very clean
Color: very dark brown
Aroma: light. Coffee beans
Taste: very refreshing and dry attack. Coffee! Hints of bread.
lingers long enough for true tasting before departing with moredry coffee beans..
Varies little with food but for a drier note.

Overall: very light approach for a flavored craft beer.
Very refreshing for all seasons!
It should please anyone, especially on a hot afternoon!
