BEER SPACE on Tap lists 10 beers, led by Y.Market’s YELLOE SKY PALE ALE
BEER SPACE on Tap in Motomachi, Kobe, updated its tap list for the Obon holiday period. The highlight is Y.Market Brewing’s YELLOE SKY PALE ALE, a yuzu-forward fruited pale ale.
Hop BroObon in Kobe just got interesting. Beer Space On Tap refreshed all 10 taps, and the featured beer is Y.Market Brewing's YELLOE SKY PALE ALE.
MugiWait, ten beers? And YELLOE SKY PALE ALE sounds like it should come with clouds and background music!
Hop BroHere's the good part: it's based on Y.Market's Purple Sky Pale Ale, then packed with plenty of yuzu peel for a fruited pale ale with real Japanese citrus character.
MugiFruited Pale Ale? What is that even? That phrase sounds way too stylish for my current beer level!
Hop BroBasically, it's an easygoing pale ale with fruit aroma layered in. Here, fresh yuzu brightness is the star, so it feels crisp and floral instead of sugary.
MugiOooh! But the article also said Alc. 5.5% and IBU 19, and IBU 19 sounds like either homework or a robot model.
Hop BroIBU is the bitterness scale. At 19, it won't hit too hard, and the Citra hops bring a gentle citrus character that's really friendly for newer craft beer drinkers.
MugiAh, so those 10 taps aren't just an IPA training camp, they're a great tasting lineup!
Hop BroExactly. There's Shiga Kogen IPA, a wheat beer, Shinshu soba-themed Countryside, and two Roku beers from Free Spirits, so it's a wide-open tap list with real range.
MugiFrom soba beer to yuzu pale ale? That's more exciting than a travel itinerary. I seriously want to sip them one by one in Motomachi over Obon.
Hop BroStarting with YELLOE SKY and then drifting into the more eccentric stuff sounds perfect. Right now I'm craving that Japanese citrus pour and nothing else.
MugiDone. Let's get pulled into Kobe Plaza Hotel B1 and make tonight a slow beer evening because my throat has already checked in!
