No yeast added?
The brewery just opened last year.
It doesn't sound like brewer's yeast.
Lychee-like aroma with hops and arabesque.
It is like a beer, but it is not a beer, and has a delicious flavor and acidity.
Personal preference.

It looks like a gutsy doburoku, but
but the taste is refreshing and clearer than it looks.
The indescribable fruitiness of juniper berries
The balance between the indescribable fruitiness of juniper berries and the slight bitterness is wonderful.
Right is this year's 2024.
The color of 2023 was pale yellow.
2024 is almost colorless and transparent
The bubbles are tame.
The taste of this year's 2024 is more refined.
It is a proof of evolution year by year, isn't it?
Comparison of different BYs of Kago Four Farm Breweries
When I first bought 2023, I was impressed by its mellow aroma.
but the taste was more like graininess and astringency.
but after a year of aging, I found it to be mellow and sweet.
After a year of aging, it became mellower and sweeter.
and sweet taste.
The sense of effervescence did not diminish.
rather more lively than the 2024.
Is it close to the flavor of sparkling flower incense?
