New VERTERE Arrivals at Sendai Station East Exit Main Store

In an Instagram post on April 2, Nippon no Craft Beer’s Koguma Sake Shop Sendai Station East Exit Main Store introduced new VERTERE arrivals from Okutama, Tokyo. While mentioning a "restock of the standard IPA," the post said this time’s lineup includes three beers, including a saison.

The three beers that arrived this time are below.

- Hydrangea / Saison / ABV 6%
- Characterized by yeast-derived spice and aromas reminiscent of citrus and white grape. It is finished with a dry, brisk drinking profile.
- Magnolia / DIPA / ABV 8%
- Brewed with Idaho 7 and El Dorado, it carries aromas evoking orange and pineapple. It is presented as a juice-like beer, with a dense character kept from feeling too heavy.
- Passiflora / Hazy IPA / ABV 7%
- Uses Cascade, Mosaic, and Citra. Tropical aromas reminiscent of passion fruit and mango are layered with a smooth mouthfeel from oats.

Koguma Sake Shop is an easy stop when looking for craft beer in the Sendai Station East Exit area. This VERTERE trio offers a range from the lightness of a saison to the thickness of a DIPA and the fruitiness of a hazy IPA, making it appealing to compare beers from the same brewery. Since a restock of the IPA is also being announced, it is a lineup worth noting when you want to keep the classics on hand while trying something new.
