Craft Beer 100 Otomoni×Sakerist Shinjuku, Introducing Baird Beer’s "Red Rose Amber Ale"
In the original article about Craft Beer 100 Otomoni×Sakerist Shinjuku, Baird Beer’s "Red Rose Amber Ale" was featured. With the savory aroma of roasted malt and a bright hop fragrance, it is a beer that naturally invites pairing with food, much like a beer pub pour.
Hop BroToday, I'm introducing Baird Beer's "Red Rose Amber Ale" at Craft Beer 100 Otomoni×Sakerist Shinjuku.
MugiWhoa, you can drink something that serious in Shinjuku? Just the red rose label makes me curious!
Hop BroWhat stands out is how the amber ale's toasty malt aroma layers together with a fruity, vibrant hop fragrance.
MugiI keep hearing about hop aroma, but does fruity aroma mean it actually tastes like fruit, even though it's beer?
Hop BroExactly. It doesn't mean fruit juice is added; hop-derived aromas can sometimes come across with citrus-like notes.
MugiOh wow, and at 6.0% alcohol, it sounds like it has real body!
Hop BroBut the nice thing is that it isn't too heavy, and because it has a clean finish, it's also a good first beer of the night.
MugiWhat, isn't that almost too versatile? Easy to pair with food is a huge strength for a beer pub!
Hop BroEspecially with grilled meats and fried foods, it pairs really well, because the toasty flavors get along nicely.
MugiThen stopping for one beer in Shinjuku after work sounds pretty perfect!
Hop BroYeah, it has that classic but never-fails balance that makes you want to savor it slowly.
MugiAlright, now I want to go out for a toasty beer too!
Hop BroAnd in the end, the best way is still to enjoy it slowly with a meal, glass of red-rose beer in hand.
