We are very excited to work with Tonkotsu on their own beer. We know they put their heart and soul into creating the perfect ramen and we have collaborated to create a beer we are all proud of.
This pale ale is beautifully light and fresh with a tantalizing sweet orange aroma. On the palate expect a crisp, citrusy character that will complement your favourite ramen.

(Draught at Tonkotsu Mare St, Hackney, London, 22 Nov 2024) Hazy golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty, hoppy nose with citrus, lemon peel and white bread. Hoppy, malty taste with notes of citrus, orange, white bread, grass and a mild citric bitterness. Light body, dry. Refreshing, zesty and easily drinkable. Nice one.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Thornbridge online. Pours clear, pale yellow with a fluffy, white topping. Light sweet flavour with notes of dusty pale grains, lemon peel, low bitterness. Light bodied with active carbonation. Somewhat clean finish, a little pithy lemon, straw, pale grain. Drinkable enough.

Can from Jeroboams, Hampstead, London. Gold with a slight haze, a white head and a light fizz. Gentle maltiness, orange. Lightweight flavours, but it's clean, refresh and refreshing. A great summer session beer that went well with a picnic at the wonderful pergola in Hill Gardens on Hampstead Heath.

0,33 boks (takk til Cimbasso!), hjemme: lett uklar strågylden med fint skum som varer. Søte appelsiner, lime og hint av gul melon, muligens også gul kiwi. En lekende lett sommerforfriskning med crisp avslutning.

Can at home, from Thornbridge online, 29/01/23. Almost clear light golden blonde with a white cap that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is tangy orange, herb, grass, light hop spice, toasted grains. Taste comprises tangerine, melon, grass, light hop spice, creamy malts. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with balanced light juicy hop bitterness. Decent enough pale ... crisp and refreshing ... could see it matching up well with some Ramen.
