MugiWhoa! “Fresh hop” already sounds like maximum just-picked energy!
Hop BroExactly. This seasonal pale ale uses 100 percent fresh hops harvested at Hayakawa Farm in Oi, Fukui.
MugiOne hundred percent is impressive! But aren’t hops usually dried little pellets? What are fresh hops?
Hop BroThey brew with freshly harvested hops before drying them. That makes juicy aroma the star. It is a race against freshness—like hop sprinting!
MugiHop sprinting?! Now I can practically taste the refreshing finish. What does it smell like?
Hop BroThink early-picked citrus and a bright hop aroma. Chinook, Cascade, and Crystal hops layer their characters together.
MugiThose sound like three special moves! With three hop varieties, what changes?
Hop BroEach brings different aroma and bitterness strengths. Together they add depth, while the bitterness stays gentle.
MugiNice! Big aroma without harsh bitterness sounds beginner-friendly. What is the ABV?
Hop BroIt is 5.0% ABV, a Fresh Hop Pale Ale built on pale ale malt—a beer for meals, too.
MugiI do not want to miss that aroma right after opening it! I want to crack a can now with an autumn meal!
Hop BroAbsolutely—catch that just-opened burst of aroma. This seasonal Fukui hop beer is making me thirsty. Let’s cheers!
