Hop BroCRAFT Rainbow in Nodayacho, Okayama has five taps pouring today. One star is NAMACHAん’s “Asakusa Line Mikan Ale”!
MugiWait, an Asakusa Line beer with mandarin? That is such a transit-map name—I have to know more!
Hop BroIt’s an ale meant to evoke fruity nuances. It may not taste like biting straight into a mandarin, but expect a citrus-inspired character.
MugiWhat is a “nuance”? A mandarin isn’t literally riding the train and arriving in my glass, right at this station?
Hop BroDefinitely not! It means an aroma or flavor impression. Yeast, hops, and ingredients can work together to create a fruity impression in beer.
MugiOhhh! Then the other new tap, Brasserie Knot’s “AWA” from Hokkaido, is perfect for a tasting flight too!
Hop BroExactly. There’s also btb’s “MiyataSpirit” from Miyagi and TY Harbor’s “Paleale” from Tokyo. A pale ale is a classic hop-forward choice.
MugiIs “hop-forward” as intense as Hop Bro’s presence? If you suddenly appear with the aroma, I’m switching tables!
Hop BroFair enough! Hop character means aromas that can suggest citrus, grass, or flowers, plus pleasant bitterness. At CRAFT Rainbow, you can choose a tap by mood, with Suntory draft available too.
MugiHappy hour runs until 7 p.m. on weekdays, and they plan to show Fagiano Okayama matches too! Beer and match time—I want to head to Nodayacho now!
