Name: Red Rose Amber Ale
Origin: Shizuoka, Japan
Style: Ale (5.5%)
Appearance: A dark, foggy and unclear ale. Its caramel coloured, with some obvious floaties which shows this beer is unfiltered. It pours with a medium head and has excellent retention.
Taste: The aroma is very hoppy, with some obvious rose-like scents. The taste is malty and bready, with strong notes from the hops giving it a very floral flavour. There is definitely rose petals used in this ale, giving it a uniquely floral flavour. Despite the heavy hoppiness of the beer its surprisingly not bitter at all. The aftertaste is floral, malty and very long lasting.
Mouth Feel: It has a soft mouthfeel, medium body and is not filling at all.
Final Thoughts (4.0 out of 5): I love hops. I love ales. I love hoppy ales. The addition of rose to this brew gives it a unique and enjoyable palette.
The largest in Japan and one of the largest in the world
