Off Trail MANGOSTRUCK／10-month aged Kveik Sour combined with mango for a juicy Barrel Aged Sour

Far Yeast Brewing will be releasing the 48th release of its innovative beer brand, "Off Trail MANGOSTRUCK," in limited quantities from Tuesday, September 24th.

■Collaboration with Australian brewery Deeds Brewing! Mango added to beer aged for up to 14 months "MANGOSTRUCK" is a collaboration beer with Australian brewery Deeds Brewing that was made possible through participation in "Hops on Oz," a collaboration event between Japanese and Australian breweries. Based on the idea of ​​using distinctive ingredients from both Japan and Australia, Off Trail decided to use mango, a beloved Australian drink.

The base beer for " MANGOSTRUCK " is a sour ale aged for 10 months using Kviek yeast for the main fermentation. To avoid a one-sided flavor due to Kviek's characteristic sourness, a spiced ale aged for 14 months and a smoked ale aged for 12 months with a dashi nuance are blended to add complexity and strengthen the body with a savory flavor. By adding mango puree, we aimed for a juicy, refreshing, and easy-to-drink flavor with just the right amount of complexity and satisfying texture, creating a well-balanced taste.

Enjoy the unique character of barrel-aged beer and the unique blending
Off Trail is a brand that is challenging new possibilities for craft beer, and they use microorganisms other than beer yeast to create unique beers with rich and complex flavors using a barrel-aging method that involves aging the beer in wooden barrels.The finished product changes depending on the barrel and the environment in which it is aged, so no two beers are exactly alike, making for a unique, one-of-a-kind flavor.
Our brewery's barrel room always has around 80 barrel-aged beers stored, and we select and blend the best combination of barrels from these to create our final product.
Some barrels are too stimulating and unique on their own, but by balancing the beers with other beers and sometimes combining them with fruits, herbs, spices, etc., they become more profound and complex, coming together. This latest product, " MANGOSTRUCK ," uses barrel-aged beer that has been aged for up to 14 months, and combines its distinctive acidity with the fresh aroma of mango.

"Off Trail MANGOSTRUCK " will be available in limited quantities on the Far Yeast Brewing official web store from Tuesday, September 24th. Purchases on the official web store and shipments to beer bars, restaurants, and liquor stores nationwide will begin on Wednesday, September 25th .

[What is Off Trail?]
　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 evokes the image of venturing off the paved road and forging ahead on unpaved paths. By using the barrel-aging method, which involves aging beer in barrels previously used for wine, sake, and whiskey, Off Trail strives to brew beer that utilizes microorganisms other than brewer's yeast. Barrel-aged base beers develop a strong character due to the environment inside the barrel, and natural chemical reactions create rich, complex aromas. By blending seasonal fruits like grapes and peaches and regional specialties to match the characteristics of the base beer, Off Trail strives to create unique flavors.
