▶Xiaoshu means “Minor Heat” marking the midway point of the summer, and that means we are only a few weeks away from the hottest time of the year – “Major Heat.”

▶“Minor Heat” is the mellow cousin of our “Major Heat” Jasmine IPA, with lower ABV %, IBU and lighter body. Like his cousin, “Minor Heat” is full of grapefruit and tropical fruit flavors from American hops, accompanied with the distinct jasmine flavors from jasmine flowers grown in Changhua, Taiwan. Grab a few bottles of both “Minor Heat” and “Major Heat” and also check your AC (and make sure it works), you are now ready for the summer.

▶「小暑」的到來,代表著夏天已經過了一半,但天氣仍然逐步增溫,讓人燥熱難耐。《曆書》說的「時天氣已熱,尚未達於極點,故名小暑。」這代表著天氣還會越來越熱,後面還有「大暑」等著。

▶「小暑 Session Ale 」是「大暑 IPA」的輕盈版,使用台灣彰化花壇的茉莉花,適度的降低酒精度與酒體,但保持著美式啤酒花的溫柔芬芳,讓人在炎熱的夏天,享受由上而下澆灌全身的清涼感。

330ml bottle at the Beer Bank, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a slightly hazy golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head and some broken lace. The aroma is malt, big toffee caramel, light floral hop. The flavour is moderate bitter and sweet, with a sweet malt, herbal, light fruity, woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.
