Small Gods X Heyday
Only the briefest flash of a red cockscomb gives away Basabasa as it picks its way through the shadows of a mountain village. Silence grips the night, only interrupted by swaying sprays of rattling bamboo as they shift in the cool wind. Doors creak and windows rattle as the locals, hidden in their homes, try to catch a glimpse of the furtive fowl. Suddenly an eerie rustling echoes out as Basabasa flaps its wings and lets out a burst of cold ghost fire, illuminating the chill night. As the afterglow fades from fearful eyes, darkness and silence surge softly back and the figure is gone. Was it ever really there?
Basabasa is a Japanese Cold IPA. Brewed with a bright and crisp Japanese Rice Lager base of Pilsner malt, Puffed Rice, Flaked Rice and Rice Syrup. This clean platform allows Sorachi Ace hops to sing with a complex herbal character backed up by supporting citrus notes from the addition of Motueka and Cryo Lemondrop. This was fermented with a Lager yeast and cold conditioned for an extended period to enhance the crisp and bitter finish.
