Hop BroPerfect timing for peach season: Fructus Sakaba in Osaka just tapped Himitsu Beer’s ‘Momotaro White.’
MugiWait, Momotaro White? That sounds heroic and adorable at the same time. Is it basically a peach beer?
Hop BroExactly, and it uses Shimizu Hakuto peaches from Okayama, built as a peach wheat-style beer that feels very in-season.
MugiA peach wheat style? Wheat beer makes me think of flour, not something I’d happily chug.
Hop BroIt means wheat malt helps give it a softer body, then the peach layers on top. You also get some fruity esters from the yeast.
MugiThere it is, the Hop-bro jargon cannon! What’s an ester? Am I drinking beer or a chemistry lab?
Hop BroNot lab stuff, just the fruit-like aroma created during fermentation. It helps the peach character feel even more vivid.
MugiOhhh, so it’s not just sweet fruitiness, it’s a soft, easy mouthfeel too. That sounds beginner-friendly.
Hop BroExactly. Fructus Sakaba is known for Italian-based dishes with spices mixed in, so this beer sounds great with food. Mention spice curry and house-made bread, and now I want a glass.
MugiSame here! Peach and spice already sounds ridiculously good, and now I want to run to Osaka and order one immediately.
