Hop BroPrimary Barrels in Fukuchiyama, Kyoto, has released FUNMER / Fanmar, and this time it is a pretty intriguing new beer.
MugiWhoa, a fresh-hop saison already sounds delicious just from the aroma!
Hop BroExactly. It is THE LOCAL HOP SAISON, and what is great is that it uses hops grown together with the local farmer Miyasai-san.
MugiBut what makes fresh hops so special? Are they really different from regular hops?
Hop BroBecause they are used right after being harvested, they tend to show a greener character in the aroma. This recipe keeps that greenness moderate and brings out the citrus notes instead.
MugiI see, just hearing citrus aroma makes me feel fizzy inside already!
Hop BroThe hops are Cascade and Centennial, with ABV 6.0% and IBU 22 for Batch: N゜2. Even the numbers make it sound easy to drink.
MugiIBU 22 means a nicely balanced bitterness, right? It sounds like such an easy-drinking saison!
Hop BroExactly. It finishes with the fruity character that saison is known for, plus a clean, crisp finish. It feels like something that comes straight from the local fields into your glass.
MugiAnd if I can buy it at the direct bottle shop, that makes it easy to get! This is definitely one I have to try!
Hop BroA beer that lets you feel the land and the people of Fukuchiyama is always appealing. Tonight, I want to relax with a glass of local saison in hand.
MugiYeah, I definitely want to drink it! I am already in the mood to toast with FUNMER!
