Far Yeast Brewing will release its limited-edition collaboration beer , " Far Yeast Bicycle Geisha Golden Ale, " with BICYCLE COFFEE TOKYO , a natural roastery based in the San Francisco Bay Area , on Thursday, February 24, 2022 , with pre-sales starting at 1:00 PM on Tuesday, February 22 on its official online store.
■ Uses the rare Geisha coffee bean
Our collaboration beer with BICYCLE COFFEE TOKYO has been an annual tradition since the first one, Far Yeast Bicycle Coffee IPA , in 2017 , and this year marks our sixth year.
This time, we're using Geisha coffee beans, one of the most popular specialty coffees in the world. Geisha is a rare, premium variety that is difficult to cultivate and has a low yield. It has a floral aroma that is often likened to perfume, a refreshing acidity like orange or grapefruit, and a rich sweetness like honey or chocolate. This highly fragrant coffee is reminiscent of teas like jasmine and Earl Grey.
■ A coffee golden ale that brings out the best in Geisha
To bring out the best in Geisha, we paid meticulous attention to every detail, from the selection of the base beer to the roasting and grinding of the coffee beans, and the amount added. While most coffee beers are dark beers like porters and stouts, this new creation is a golden ale style.
The base beer is the regular Far Yeast Tokyo Blonde, which has not yet been dry-hopped to allow for a clear taste that highlights the inherent characteristics of Geisha without being overshadowed by the astringency of the hops.
As for the beans, we stuck to a light roast because medium roasting would bring out a strong coffee flavor from the roasted aroma, but would mask the Geisha aroma.
When poured into a glass, it starts off with a sweet vanilla-like aroma, and as the temperature rises, the coffee flavor gradually emerges. The exquisite finish allows you to enjoy the sweetness of malt and coffee, as well as the tropical flavor of hops and coffee.
This is a beer that not only beer lovers but also coffee lovers should definitely try.
Far Yeast Bicycle Geisha Golden Ale will be available for general sale from Thursday, February 24th, with pre-orders starting at 1:00 PM on Tuesday, February 22nd on the official online store. It will also be sold at the BICYCLE COFFEE TOKYO store in Kanamachi, Tokyo.
In addition, the official online store will also be selling a set of the Geisha coffee beans used in this project and Far Yeast Bicycle Geisha Golden Ale .
