Japanese IPA with rice, koji and matcha

This Japanese IPA incorporates traditional ingredients like rice, koji, and matcha to create a unique interpretation of the style. The addition of rice lends a light, crisp dryness, balancing the moderate bitterness typical of an IPA. Koji contributes subtle umami and a mild sweetness, adding depth to the malt backbone. The distinct herbal and slightly grassy notes of matcha emerge on the nose and palate, complementing the hop character with a delicate earthiness. The beer pours a clear, pale gold with a smooth, medium-light body and a clean finish, showcasing a fusion of Japanese flavors with American hoppiness.
