『黄華爛漫 -Ouka Ranman- 』

This Belgian Wheat Ale is made with mandarin oranges from Yorii-machi, Saitama Prefecture, which boasts over 400 years of history.
Yorii-machi mandarins are grown in a way that takes advantage of the basin's unique climate, which is warmer in the higher elevations than in the lower elevations, and are characterized by their sweet and sour taste.

The young brewing staff experimented with various recipes to create a beer with a rich mikan flavor, perfect for the transition from winter to spring.

The sour, fruity, herbal flavor, consisting of wheat malt, coriander seeds, and Belgian yeast, is given a fruit-derived aroma and tartness by the use of citrus juice and peel. Along with its refreshing mouthfeel, rich aroma and flavor, it finishes crisp and clean while retaining a somewhat Japanese character.

The name "Koka-baran" comes from the yellow color of the oranges that spread over the majestic mountains, as if they were in full bloom under the sunlight.

This is a small batch brewed at Kawagoe Brewery. Please note that the number of bottles is limited.
