Limited edition brew "Far Yeast Peach Citrus Gose" released

Craft beer brand Far Yeast will be releasing a limited edition brew, "Far Yeast Peach Citrus Gose," on Thursday, April 5, 2018.

"Far Yeast Peach Citrus Gose" is a fruit gose made with peach puree from Yamanashi Prefecture, three types of citrus fruits (banpeiyu, yuzu, and hassaku), and salt.
The peach puree used is from Peach Senka Yamashita (head office: Yamanashi City, Yamanashi Prefecture; CEO: Yamashita Kazuhiro), a peach farmer who also runs the popular Peach Farm Cafe La Pesca in Yamanashi City, and was also used in "Far Yeast Peach Nightcrawler."
The largest Banpeiyu can reach a diameter of approximately 25cm, making it one of the largest citrus fruits in the world. Over 95% of Banpeiyu in Japan is produced in Kumamoto Prefecture, and Far Yeast Peach Citrus Gose uses Banpeiyu from Yatsushiro, Kumamoto Prefecture, one of the most famous Banpeiyu producing areas.
In addition to the generous use of three types of citrus fruits, the use of Citra and Mosaic hops adds a citrus flavor derived from the hops, resulting in a new fruit gose with a balanced sweetness and acidity.

~From the Far Yeast Brewing Brewing Team~

"Our second peach beer is a fruit gose style beer that has undergone lactic acid fermentation via kettle souring. We hope you enjoy the sweet aroma of peach, the refreshing citrus aroma of three types of citrus fruits, and the acidity of lactic acid fermentation with added salt, resulting in a complex and elegant taste."

The product will be available in two varieties: kegs and bottles. Both kegs and bottles are scheduled to go on sale nationwide from Thursday, April 5th.

We will continue to introduce new items such as limited edition brews, and aim to provide products that will please many people in a variety of everyday situations.
