As we transition from summer to fall it can be hard to know what beers to reach for, but the 2019 version of Aki no Kimagure is something of a jack of all malt and hop trades. To bring both of these realms together, we called upon an old favorite, Red Rye Crystal, alongside a medium crystal malt, both from Simpsons Malt in the UK, to create a deep and luscious background malt character. For the hoppy punch, we looked to a blend of Idaho 7 and Mosaic, a hop combination we have been itching to try for some time. The dank tropical character of Idaho 7 is quite unique and melds well with the crystal malts, while the melon-like tropical character from Mosaic gives a fresh fruity accent. We think you will agree this hoppy amber is a beer for any fall occasion!
