Kizakura Co. - NV - Kyoto Matcha IPA - 4 L

Round and soft, with a pleasant bitterness and a full body. Hiding beneath citrus notes, the refined flavor of matcha continues gently into the tail of this Japanese style IPA.

Not wine: this is an IPA brewed with matcha, released without a vintage. The 4-liter format is the notable part, several times the volume of a standard beer bottle, so it is built for a group or a long occasion. Matcha-and-beer crossovers remain a small niche within Japanese craft brewing, and Kyoto is the city most associated with the tea itself.
