このビールはベルギーに由来する「セゾン」というスタイルをイメージに作ったもので、ベルギー酵母とアメリカ・ニュージーランド産ホップのアロマの組み合わせに重視したもの。セゾンというのは、昔のベルギーの農場で労働者の喉を潤すために作ったのは始まりだそうだ。弊社には農場も労働者もいないけど、「一期一会」の複雑な香りとドライな口当たりは定番シリーズにピッタリだと思う。
This beer is loosely based upon the traditional Belgian-style Saison and blends the aromatics of Belgian yeast with hops from New Zealand and the United States. Legend has it that the style originated from beers brewed at farmhouses in the French-speaking region of Belgium to quench the thirst of the hard-working farmhands. While we don't have farmhands to satisfy, we think the inviting aroma and refreshing dryness of Ichigo Ichie make it a perfect fit for our year round beer menu.

Tap at Gremlin. What are you Kyoto guys doing? How am I rating this first? Aroma is nice, creamy, fruity, strawberry or is it just the name that's doing that? Grainy. Taste is great, bit of citrus, light bitterness, very easy drinking. Light Belgian elements, fruit. Creamy but not sweet. Great stuff.

Tap at Beer Komachi, Kyoto. Poured a hazy light golden straw colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is grainy malt, yeasty, citrus hop. The flavour is acid, citrus, with a smooth, dry yeast, fruity palate and a lingering dry cheesy yeast finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Superb, Very refreshing and nicely balanced.

Perhaps the best saison I've had. No wonder it's their flagship beer!

Keg at Len - Kyoto. Pours mostly clear yellow-gold with a creamy, pure white head. The nose has decent estery notes, some lemon peel, biscuits, dried wheat. Light sweet flavour with some grassy bitterness, wheat flakes, bitter citrus rind, understated Belgian yeast. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Clean finish with fairly assertive grassy bitterness, more lemon peel, some husky grain, dried wheat bread. Just a touch too bitter, but nice overall.

Draft @ BBP Good Beer Feast 2016, merci à l’équipe Bxl. Dorée, léger orangée, col fin blanc. Arôme est plaisant, offrant ici aussi, des effluves belges au niveau de la levure. Retrouve un houblonné noble citronné et une base maltée pils offrant un nez léger niveau grains. Le tout garde de bonnes notes vertes, fraiches. Palais reste similaire avec une approche que je trouve dans qcq unes des bières de Kyoto, à savoir, cette influence belge de la levure. Petite note ester qui procure un léger fruité, et complète le côte noble des houblons et cela malgré un axe australien/US dans ces derniers - à part peut-être le profil agrumes. Fini sec, grains clairement axé pils.

Kyoto Brewing Co.’s Ichigo Ichie on tap at Daimaru as part of an event until July 16th. Served in a branded snifter, it’s a glowing cloudy gold with q thick soapy white head. The nose is grassy, peppery, spices with mild funk. The first sip was more bitter than expected with a it of a metallic edge to it. As my palate adjusted I got spice, cinnamon, pepper, citrus and a bit bready wheat with a refreshing dry finish. This is a very solid first core beer from Kyoto Brewing, definitely a winner.
