Can Hitachino Nest make a bad beer.... I don't think so. Hitachino white ale is one of the highest selling beers in the U.S. and it will probably continue to be until Hitachino no longer exist. This Japanese brewery is one of the worlds best breweries! They make 9 to 10 beers that are all fantastic and artistically constructed with some of the best ingredients found world wide.
Hitachino white ale is truly a white beer lovers dream, its clean and crisp with plenty to offer the drinker. White Ale is bottled in 11.2 oz bottle, but can also be found in a 350 ml bottle which may be hard to find in California. Hitachino Beers are usually expensive but worth it. This beer usually prices it self around $ 4.50 to $5.99 a bottle depending on where you buy it. The abv on this beer is just right for this type of beer at 5 %. This beer also should be enjoyed out of a cold pint glass in the summer time, but also makes a good year round beer if you make it your mid afternoon beer. Furthermore and lastly, this beer would pair nicely with all and most sea food and some lighter Italian foods.
Color: Cloudy straw gold. Little to no head at all which happen to be a true white foam head. this beer leaves minimal head retention/lacing.
Nose: Plenty of citrus. lemon zest orange juice and definitely coriander. hints of Belgian yeast and wheat in the background.
Palate: Light bodied beer. some light sour/tart. Very crisp and clean on the tongue with the orange flavors dancing about on your taste buds.
Finish: Short and clean. The tartness of the lemon zest and sweetness of the orange juice finishes strong and truly stand out. Not that complex but nicely layered and refreshing.
Rating: 92 out 100
