Hitachino Nest – Dai Dai Ale

Hitachino Nest Dai Dai Ale is a distinctive Japanese craft beer brewed by Kiuchi Brewery, combining traditional IPA techniques with local Japanese citrus. Brewed with Fukure mikan oranges, it delivers a unique balance of hop character and vibrant fruit expression.

Medium-bodied (around 6–6.2% ABV), it offers a rich and refreshing profile. Bright orange citrus leads on the nose and palate, followed by subtle caramel malt and herbal hop notes. The taste balances sweet and tangy citrus with a mild bitterness, finishing dry, smooth and refreshing.
