The description
Suntory's Fukami no Zeitaku is a beer in the brewery's Master's Dream series. This beer is 5% alcohol brewed with a mix of domestic and imported malt. It's available at 7-11 convenience stores.
The good
I'm always up for a "puremoru", a premium malt beer offered by Japan's major beer manufacturers. For the most part, I've been pleased with Suntory's The Premium Malt's series (they put that apostrophe in the title so don't blame me). This one, Futami no Zeitaku, a deep luxurious feeling, one of Suntory's Master's Dream series beers, came out in autumn 2023. This unfiltered brew pours a little heavy with a lot of body and a hazy, dark color. It's got a varied aroma with stone fruit, apple and pear notes, and a nice finish.
The not so good
This was a real treat and I have no complaints about this premium malt beer from Suntory, a major brewer. Sure, it's a little pricier than run-of-the-mill beers, but it has a more complex flavor than your average mass-produced beer. For a big brewery all-malt beer, this one delivers some robustness, bitterness, and depth of flavor as indicated by the "fukami", depth, and "zeitaku" on the label. I recommend this one as a beer to savor. Note that so far, the beer appears to be available exclusively at 7-11 convenience stores.
