Inspired by raspberry chocolate opera cake! Off Trail #12 "Framboise D'Été" will be available from Friday, May 28th

Far Yeast Brewing Co., Ltd. announced that the 12th release from its innovative beer brand, Off Trail, will be a barrel-aged stout (specially blended with strong ale flavored by red raspberries, cacao nibs, and cinnamon) with a rich opera cake flavor and a hint of fruity raspberries. The product will be available for general release on Friday, May 28th, with pre-orders starting at 1:00 PM on Tuesday, May 11th on the company's official online store.

Launched in November 2019 as a follow-up to the two brands "KAGUA" and "Far Yeast," "Off Trail" is a brand that explores new possibilities in craft beer. Its name comes from the image of forging ahead on unpaved roads, setting itself apart from well-paved roads. The beer is brewed using the barrel-aging method, in which beer is aged in barrels previously used for wine, sake, and whiskey, in order to develop rich and complex aromas by utilizing microorganisms other than brewer's yeast. The brand explores unique flavors by blending seasonal fruits such as grapes and peaches, as well as regional specialties, to match the characteristics of the base beer.

The 12th product, " Off Trail Framboise D'Été ," aims to capture the flavor of Opera Framboise (raspberry chocolate opera cake) , a fragrant, sweet and sour French pastry that reflects the season .
This stout, aged for 14 months in whiskey barrels, is fermented a second time with plenty of raspberries and cocoa nibs, then blended with a strong ale aged for 27 months in wine barrels, with cinnamon added for a finishing touch.

The complex flavor of barrel-aged stout is layered with fruity raspberry aromas, elegant chocolate flavors, malt sweetness, and a hint of cinnamon to create a beautiful cake-like dessert beer.
In French, "Framboise" means raspberry and "d'été" means "summer. "
While reminiscent of a rich opera cake, the fruity and tart flavor of raspberries is brought to the forefront, making it the perfect match for the upcoming season.
"Framboise DʼE té " will be released nationwide from Friday, May 28th, and pre-orders will begin on our online store from 1:00 PM on Tuesday, May 11th (shipments will begin sequentially from Monday, May 17th).
