Hop BroBe Easy Brewing's Magic Spell - Shichinohe has arrived at Aomori Brew Pub in Aomori City. It's the latest collaboration to come from Hirosaki, and even the name gets you excited right away, doesn't it?
MugiWhoa, Magic Spell - Shichinohe sounds like a magical name! And being able to drink it in Aomori makes it feel special.
Hop BroExactly. The style is an American-style IPA, and its calling cards are tropical nuances and firm bitterness. It feels like it was designed to really have some substance.
MugiWhat does that mean! Does tropical nuances mean it tastes like tropical fruit even though it's beer?
Hop BroExactly. Those hop-derived aromas can bring out fruity aromas that suggest mango or pineapple. This time, the American hops are taking on that role.
MugiOh, I see! So what about the malt? It said it's not just the usual base malt, right?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: they added Swaen malt and a small amount of amber malt to give it a biscuit-like finish. So it's not just flashy aromatics; there's a toasted character underpinning it.
MugiWait, it even has a biscuit note!? So it looks sweet, but it's actually got real backbone.
Hop BroExactly. On top of that, they've layered in Waimea Hop Kief, which pushes the tropical character up another notch. Think of it like a concentrated hop extract, adding a big burst of aroma.
MugiHop extract sounds a little like magic powder... Hop Kief really that impressive?
Hop BroIt feels magical, but the logic is simple: it's a way to make the aroma compounds stand out more strongly. And on top of that, this is a very Aomori-style brewpub, where you can drink while looking through glass at the brewing equipment.
MugiWow, being able to enjoy Aomori-inspired design like kogin embroidery lighting and Tsugaru lacquer tables is amazing! And the self-serve setup, where you can pour just a little at a time, is perfect for trying things.
Hop BroPlus, from 15:00 to 18:00, all beers are 15% off, so it's strong both as a quick stop and as a serious drinking destination. This is definitely one to keep on the list for the next trip to Aomori.
MugiYeah, I can't stop wanting to compare different pours! I'd love to drink this slowly and check the balance between tropical character and bitterness.
Hop BroThen it's settled, let's note it down as a candidate travel beer. With an IPA like this, it's fun to follow the aroma on the first sip, the bitterness on the next, and the malt finish at the end.
MugiAll right, I'm ready too! I'm in the mood to drink it right now, so if I find it near Aomori Station, I'll definitely stop in!
