ばなちんThank you all for your continued support this year.
For my first post of the year 2021, I'm going to use my favorite Akatake's SNOW. (By the way, my first drink was Hekihan.)
We confirmed the release of the brewery on our Instagram yesterday, and the day it arrived was a holiday. I was so excited and ready to go, but it was snowing like a typhoon in northern Japan. In the morning, I was already exhausted by processing afterwards.
I took a nap to recover my strength and left in the evening! But the liquor store we went to was already sold out, isn't it earlier than XMAS? I hurriedly went to another liquor store nearby and managed to get it just before closing time! Even in my hometown, it's getting harder and harder to get the limited edition ones.
After taking a commemorative photo in the snow (it wasn't raining during Xmas), we opened the bottle.
It has a slightly thick mouthfeel, with a fruity and milky acidity that fills the mouth with flavor. The gasiness is stronger than the XMAS, and it cuts through quickly. The lightness of this beer makes you want to take another sip right away. As expected.
The roads are slippery due to the recent heavy snowfall (but nothing compared to the Sea of Japan side) and cold wave, and I witnessed traffic accidents in three places when I came home. I hope you all have a safe trip.
