Hop BroKyoto's OBEER has a new release! It's called "Love's Greeting - from
MugiWhoa, that name is way too romantic! A beer called "Love's Greeting" means the drama starts before the toast even begins!
Hop BroAnd the style is "Saison with Berries & Lavender." It's designed with blueberry and raspberry fruitiness, plus a touch of tension from lavender.
MugiHold on! What even is a saison? And does a drink really get described as having "tension" in its aroma?
Hop BroSaison is a Belgian-style beer with a bright, lively aroma and a fairly dry finish. The "tension" from the lavender is there to sharpen and balance the sweet fruit character.
MugiAh, I get it! So lavender is basically the teacher making sure the berry sweetness doesn't run wild!
Hop BroExactly. The recipe was inspired by Hirohiko Uni's painting *Dawn*, and the label also uses the artwork through art space co-jin. Connecting art with flavor design is very OBEER.
MugiThat's so lovely... It's the kind of beer that makes you look at the artwork before drinking, then want to look again after the aftertaste.
Hop BroAnd it's all about lingering afterglow rather than flashiness. It also echoes Elgar's "Love's Greeting," and the suggestion to drink it as an aperitif before a meal is classy.
MugiIt's settled! On March 14, let's drink "Love's Greeting" at OBEER! I bet I'll say "Wow!" three times on the first sip.
In a post published by OBEER on March 8, release information for the new beer "Love's Greeting - from <Dawn>" was revealed. The beer style is Saison with Berries & Lavender, and the alcohol content is 6.0%. According to the post, sales are scheduled to begin on Saturday, March 14.
This new release was developed from a recipe inspired by Hirohiko Uni's painting Dawn. The label uses the artwork through art space co-jin. The flavor design takes a fruity approach with blueberry and raspberry notes, while lavender adds a slight tension. The malt is placed as a quiet foundation, and the overall structure is tied together by aromas derived from the saison yeast.
The post also refers to an image associated with Elgar's "Salut d'Amour," a motif that connects to the beer's name. Rather than flashiness, the beer is designed to leave an afterglow, and the suggested drinking occasion is "an aperitif before a meal."
OBEER is a brewery and bottle shop based in Kyoto, and its official site describes it as a "Belgian-Inspired Nano Brewery." In addition to its own beers, it also carries selected Belgian beers, while presenting an approach rooted in learning from the diversity of Belgian beer culture and aiming for its own unique expression in Kyoto. This new release is also likely to draw attention as a beer that connects art with flavor design, in a style characteristic of OBEER.
