Shizuoka Craft Beer: Izu No Kuni Beer “Climb”

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 they served a limited craft beer called “Climb” brewed by Izu no Kuni Beer Co. in Izu no Kuni City (Izu Peninsula)!

Served on tap
Barley, hop, live yeast
Unfiltered
Alcohol: 4.8%
Bubbles: fine bubbles.Longish head. Creamy. White
Clarity: slightly smoky (normal considering live yeast and being unfiltered), very clean
Color: Deep lemon color
Aroma: discreet. bread
Taste: Refreshing, light and dry but soft attack.
Only a little acidity.
Bread, dark tea.
Lingers only long enough for true tasting before departing on an even drier note with more hints of dark tea.
Stays true to first impressions all the way through.

Overall: better than a thirst quencher.
Very light and refreshing. Obviously conceived as a summer craft beer.
Can be enjoyed on its own or with any food, especially light starters.
