Hop BroAt Entrance to Beer NOVICE in Kawagoe, they're pouring CARVAAN Brewery's "Arabian Lime Ale." Even the name sounds refreshing, so it definitely catches my attention.
MugiWhoa! Just hearing lime ale already makes me excited! But "ale" sounds kind of like something for advanced drinkers, doesn't it?
Hop BroDon't worry, this one leans toward a golden ale style, so it's crisp and easy to drink. The bitterness is restrained too, making it a very approachable beer even for craft beer beginners.
MugiOhh! But does golden mean it actually has a golden color? That name makes it sound like a treasure hunt is about to start.
Hop BroExactly. Visually it has that golden lightness, and the flavor is attractive because it doesn't feel heavy. It often finishes with a soft malt sweetness and hop character that stays in the background instead of pushing too hard.
MugiWhat? If it's mild on bitterness, I can totally do that! And just hearing lime makes it feel like a summer breeze, which instantly lifts my mood!
Hop BroNOVICE is a place around Kawagoe Station, and what's interesting is that it focuses on breweries within Saitama Prefecture. You can see the story behind each beer, so it's not just about drinking - you can enjoy the whole narrative too.
MugiWait, it's Saitama-only? That sounds fun, like drinking while looking at a map on a trip. And the shop name NOVICE totally gives off a beginner-welcome vibe!
Hop BroExactly. I also like that the owner visits breweries to choose the beers. So instead of just lining up labels, they recommend beers based on what kind of brewery made them and what kind of personality they have.
MugiI get it! If it pairs well with meals, then it works with dinner too, and it's perfect as a first drink. If I find it in Kawagoe, I want to toast with lime vibes too!
Hop BroThen the tap list is definitely one to check next. I kind of want to try this Arabian Lime Ale in a glass right now.
MugiI know! It's officially our drink of the night candidate. Something this crisp and refreshing would taste amazing if we drank it together!
