Harakiri, also known as seppuku, is defined in its country of origin, Japan, as ritual suicide with the sword. The term goes back to the samurai, who committed hara-kiri in order to prevent a dishonorable death at the hands of the enemy or to restore their own honor that had fallen into disrepute. Fortunately, Munich Brew Mafia's Harakiri cannot be compared at all to the horrific sword acrobatics and is only called that because the hops used in the beer originally come from Japan. We would prefer well-chilled hara-kiri to any samurai sword!
For a long time, Sorachi Ace hops only grew in Japan and were bred and refined by a brewery there. Now it also grows in Germany's most famous hop-growing region, the Hallertau. The Munich Brew Mafia took this happy event as an opportunity and dedicated a beer to the special hops. The product of their efforts is a Belgian seasonal beer with 6% vol. and a very special aromatic world that comes from Sorachi hops. The drink, which is reminiscent of a Munich wheat beer, is fermented for a long time and therefore has enough time to develop an interesting aroma.
When poured, the cloudy-yellow beer forms a stable, white foam that exudes a spicy yeast scent. When drunk, the yeasty-spicy first impression is accompanied by fruity aromas of citrus fruits, grapefruit and white grapes. Harakiri is a full-bodied beer that offers connoisseurs a wild mix of fruity, yeasty and spicy flavors and is wonderfully drinkable.
Dangerously good!
