Shizzuoka Craft Beers | SHIZUOKA GOURMET

The other day I had the opportunity to visit the newly opened Craft Beer Bar in Shizuoka City: Hug Hop!

And among their offerings I spotted a very limited craft beer by Baird Beer, the Craft Beer Brewery owned and run by Bryan Baird in Shuzenji, Izu Pninsula, Shizuoka Prefecture: 2017 India Pale Ale!

Aloha Malted malt (USA), Pilsner malt (Germany), Wien malt (Austria), Munchen malt (Germany). Tettnang hop (New Zealand). Dry hop: Whole flower corn hop (USA). Fresh hop: Toros hop (Germany), Magnum hop (Germany). House Lager yeast (USA). Sugars.
ABV: 7%
IBU: 75
SRM: 3.1

Bubbles: long head, very fine bubbles, white
Color: dark lemon color
Aroma: dry and fruity. Citruses, lemon.
Taste: dry and fruity attack. Lemon, citruses, bread.
Lingers long enough on palate for true tasting before departing on drier/more bitter notes of citruses.
Pleasant alcohol all the way through.
Stays true all the way.

Overall: very bitter type of IPA.
Although tasted in winter would become a welcome craft beer for all seasons.
Its bitterness will please gentlemen in particular.
