青影に染まる (Dyed in Deep Blue)
An aromatic malt blend, rounded out with a gentle floral aroma from the hop bill, this is a British-inspired brown ale, all about balance with character.
Although he never achieved a G1 title, his performances on the biggest stages of the race captivated the hearts of those who watched. Even in defeat, his unwavering determination to keep running left a lasting impression, and his image, galloping swiftly like a blue shadow, still vividly comes back to mind. This drink is inspired by Deep Bond, crafted to allow racing fans to revel in that lingering memory!
We wanted it to be a celebratory drink, light enough for the summer weather, but flavourful and something that stands out from the others. We settled on the underappreciated style of a nut-brown ale, and when we say “nut brown”, the nutty flavours come from the malt and yeast alone.
A rather complex malt bill consisting of pilsner, and small portions of caramel, melanoidin, amber and chocolate malts. The goal with the malt was to layer different caramel, sweet, nutty, toasty, and bread-like characteristics onto this beer, without leaving it too sweet and heavy. We balance this malt sweetness with a classic bittering profile, using some Willamette hops. This beer was fermented with a dry English strain to keep it both characterful but also not cloying. Don’t let the colour fool you - this beer goes down almost too easily, while still loaded with as much personality as a popular retired racehorse.
