Bronze Award: "Far Yeast Hop Frontier -Juicy IPA-"

A new staple at Far Yeast starting in the summer of 2021. This Juicy IPA maximizes the fruity, ripe, and juicy aroma of the hops used, focusing on "survivables*," compounds that survive the brewing process and contribute to the aroma of the finished beer.

*What is Survivables? These compounds, such as monoterpene alcohols, hop-derived esters, and thiols, have a low sensory threshold and are relatively resistant to evaporation. They remain strong in the final beer product even after the brewing process, delivering a powerful aroma impact. Scott Janish, author of "The New IPA: Scientific Guide to Hop Aroma and Flavor," has introduced a methodology that maximizes the use of survivables to effectively extract aromas on the hot side, drawing attention.
