Hop BroToday I want to introduce a new release, "100%YUKI," tapped on April 19 by Kichi Brewing in Katsushika Ward's Horikiri Shobuen.
MugiWow, the name already has me curious! What does 100%YUKI taste like?
Hop BroIt's a sour ale with prickly pear cactus, and it's built to be light at 4.5% ABV and 13 IBU.
MugiWhat does IBU13 mean? Does having a lower number mean it's not that bitter?
Hop BroExactly. IBU is a measure of bitterness, and 13 is pretty gentle. So in this beer, acidity takes the lead, and the drinking experience feels crisp.
MugiOh, and the description says it has a green, lively aroma. I guess that means a slightly grassy freshness?
Hop BroThat's right. It also has a reddish hue, so it looks bright too, and the fruity acidity flows neatly into a dry finish.
MugiThat's perfect for the season. A clean, refreshing style seems like it would be great on a hot day!
Hop BroAnd the name's origin is great too. It was made to honor staff member YUKI, who has graduated, which is very typical of Kichi Brewing's close-knit feel.
MugiWhen there's a story like that, it starts to feel like more than just a new beer and becomes a glass full of meaning.
Hop BroAs you'd expect from Kichi Brewing, which brews with a strong local connection in Horikiri Shobuen, this one feels like a seasonal beer that will really hit the spot for acidity lovers.
MugiAll right, it's decided! I want to enjoy that refreshingly tart style along with the feeling for YUKI-san too!
