Hop BroAt the Shinjuku beer pub Craft Beer 100, Kyoto Brewing's "Saru Otoko (Mario)" is on tap. This is one bottle from the popular "Saru Ichizoku" series, and the heft you get from a Belgian Double IPA is irresistible.
MugiWhoa, Saru Otoko (Mario) already sounds tough! A monkey called Mario? That's way too much information for my brain to process!
Hop BroBut the contents are solid. The Belgian yeast aroma comes through first, with banana-like notes and a spicy character, then the bright hop presence follows after that.
MugiBanana and spice? Does that mean it tastes like candy even though it's beer? Wait, is it sweet? Or spicy?
Hop BroNot sweet so much as the impression created by the yeast's aroma. And with the hop aroma adding IPA-like brightness, there are quite a few layers to the fragrance.
MugiI see! So it's not just about bitterness, but about enjoying the aroma too. A beer you take your time with really does feel like an adult beer!
Hop BroExactly. And since the alcohol content is a bit high and it has a rich mouthfeel, it's more the kind of beer you want to savor calmly than guzzle quickly.
MugiOh, so it's not one of those beers where you're done after the first sip! It sounds like it would go well as a closing drink after a meal, which is pretty sneaky.
Hop BroBeing able to drink it casually in Shinjuku is another plus, and it's also well suited to enjoying with food. It really brings out Kyoto Brewing's distinctive character, so craft beer fans won't want to miss it.
MugiNow I really want one! Faced with one bottle from the Saru Ichizoku, I'd rather just forget the logic and have a pint tonight!
