Wakayama Brewery – Agra Craft, Sansho Ale (5.5% ABV)

Welcome back to the Eternal Hoptimists!

We cant possibly drink out every night in Singapore, so today we are tasting a couple of bottles & cans that we picked up on Orchard Road.

Unfortunately the store we went in didn’t have any Singapore beers, but it did have some nice looking Japanese imports so lets take a look at one of those!

  1. Name: Agra Craft, Sansho Ale
  2. Brewery: Wakayama Brewery
  3. Hops: N/A
  4. Grain: N/A
  5. Aroma :  Spiced hoppy scent with a touch of grass.
  6. Appearance : Clear golden beer with a slight white film when poured.
  7. Body :  Medium bodied, low carbonation with no head retention.
  8. Taste: Sweet malty flavour with a dry finish and a playful peppery aftertaste.

This was a very nice spiced beer, refreshing and with a playful kick. It was so different from other beers that we have had tonight so it certainly stands out.

John thought it reminded him of a Saison, I can sort of see what he meant as it was a little winey, but I think its the pepper that’s the stand out difference in this one.

Sam’s overall rating: 3.5/ 5.0
