Himitsu Lush : Background
Himitsu Lush is a 5% tart pale ale, whatever that means, from Himitsu Beer, based in Ise city, in Mie. It’s part of their canned and draught lineup, though its availability is unknown at the time of writing. To make this beer, Himitsu Beer used the idea of locally sourced peaches, green lemons, and early mandarin oranges as a basis for the aroma, but interesting enough, didn’t actually use any fruit in the making of it.

Himitsu Lush : Appearance
Dull amber orange colour with a thin layer of bubbles on top that faded to a thin ring around the side of the glass. Haze was present in the body, but I suspect it’s from being cold.
Himitsu Lush : Aroma
Lingering fruity aroma of lemons and oranges, though a subtle sourness lies underneath it all. Light sweetness in the nose, means it’s mostly fruity aromas.
Himitsu Lush : Taste
Sour, rather than bitter, and fruity, with the lemons and oranges being the main notes in the body. As the beer warms up, the sourness becomes more evident but not vinegary or overpowering.
Himitsu Lush : The Bottom Line
It’s an interesting beer for sure, and good for a warm day.
