From the brewer
Anbai literally means “Salty Plum” and the word is also used to describe the stat of taste and flavor. Ii Anbai means “just right”!
Hitachino Nest Anbai Ale is brewed based on the high alcohol version (7%) of the signature beer Hitachino Nest White Ale, infused with locally grown green sour plum (ume), and finished up with a pinch of Japanese sea salt (moshio). The balance of sourness, bitterness, comes from the plum and subtle saltiness, great umami taste of the sea salt is “Ii Anbai - just right!”

Interesting and complex. A hint of tartness, a wheaty middle, and a slightly rough hint of bitter at the end.
Sweetish, mellow wheat that moves quickly to a mild sourness that is plummy and vinous at the same time. Ends with a little murky wheat funk. No overt saltiness, but the flavor was definitely intriguing.
