オーストラリアで人気の特別なペールエール。パッションフルーツのような香りを出すオーストラリア産ホップ「Galaxy」ほか、ピーチなどの香りのホップなど、ペールよりも多く使用しました。度数を少し上げながらもスッキリさせたボディ、ホップの苦みが後に残らないようにタイミングを変えて、何杯もおかわりができるような、爽快かつ特別なペールエールにいたしました

(Bottle) Pours slightly hazy (maybe I should have avoided the sediment) with a good white head. Lovely citrus aroma with floral hints. Medium body with good fine carbonation. Good taste too. There’s plenty of hops through the palate with a good long bitter finish. There is some caramel and candy sweetness in the background and some good peppery notes. Very enjoyable.

Bottle. Misted gold with a fluffy white head. Aroma of lemon rind, some herbs, hayish malt. A bit barely sugar sweet but with pleasant citrus and some resin towards a fairly bitter finish.

First up let’s look at the standard version. Ise Kadoya XPA 5.5% Extra Pale Ale Light gold with a thick white head of foam and citrusy hop bouquet. Medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel. The flavor is a bit abrasive bitter citrus rind and not balanced but still refreshing enough. It’s ok.
