MugiBut what is a Helles? I kind of get the lager part, but suddenly it's all German and I'm lost!
Hop BroHelles roughly means a bright, easy-drinking lager. This one is all about balancing a lively hop aroma with the soft sweetness of malt.
MugiOh, so it comes in with that hop aroma and still goes down easy!
Hop BroExactly. And the brewer was aiming for a design that doesn't wear you out, so it's really well suited to your first drink.
MugiIf it's perfect for the first drink, it's the kind of thing I'd order the second I finish work! And it goes with a light meal too, right?
Hop BroYeah, that's the nice part. The post also adds the word IYASAKA (弥栄), giving it a strong sense of everyone flourishing together.
MugiNow I really want to drink it! I want to order it as an everyday drink and soak up the anniversary celebration too!
