Shizuoka Craft Beer: Aoi Brewing-Honnori Ocha Ale/Honnori Green Tea Ale!

Decidedly, Aoi Brewing Co. in Shizuoka City is evnturing in local agricultural products!
After Shimizu Harumi Oranges, they have just released “Honnori Ocha Ale”, that is an ale concocted with green tea from Shizuoka Prefecture!
The green tea is provided by Yamae Co./山英社, a company in Kakegawa City which buys green tea from local producers before massaging and processing it!

Incidentally the next Shizuoka Prefecture local product beer will feature Suruga Elegant Oranges and Peaches!

Served on tap
Barley, Maris Otter malt, Pilsner Malt, Topaz hop, Willamette hop, green tea
Unfiltered
Alcohol/ABV: 5.5%
Bubbles: very fine bubbles. Long head. creamy, white
Clarity: slightly smoky (normal considering live yeast and being unfiltered), very clean
Color: orange color
Aroma: very discreet at first. Green tea will surge with the rise in temperature with a mild turn
Taste: refreshing and dry attack.
Complex. Green tea. Pleasant acidity..
Green tea will assert itself with the rise in temperature.
Lingers long enough for a true tasting before departing on a dominant but soft green tea note.
Stays true to first impression all the way through.

Overall: very intriguing craft beer with unusual taste and approach.
The soft acidity will particularly appeal to gentlemen.
Best appreciated on a hot afternoon.
As for food, will happily marry with BBQ meats in particular!
A long seller in the offing!
