Hop BroThree new kegs have been tapped at the Koenji beer pub, Craft Beer Sakaba Citra Bar. The first highlight is Craftrock Brewing x Citra Bar Nakano’s anniversary beer, “Citrus on the Rock.”
MugiWhat, three kegs tapped at once!? And there’s even an anniversary beer? That’s way too much information for my beer brain to keep up with!
Hop BroThis one is lager-based, but it’s layered with bright citrus aromas and fresh lemongrass. It’s light, but it leaves a strong impression.
MugiWhat! If I hear lager, I think crisp and clean, but adding lemongrass suddenly gives it a stylish cafe vibe. That’s unfair!
Hop BroAnd next is Noboribetsu Jibeer Oni Densetsu’s Kinki Pale Ale. This time it’s the Comet Single Ver., with a citrusy feel and a subtle tropical note. The bitterness is clear, but the finish is easy to drink.
MugiWhoa, Comet Single Ver. already sounds powerful! It sounds like some kind of space weapon, but hearing it’s easy to drink makes me feel better.
Hop BroA ‘single’ setup means the hop lineup is narrowed down, so it’s easier to showcase its character. This time they’re really bringing out Comet’s citrusy and tropical side.
MugiI see! So Minoh Beer’s Osaru IPA is the one for hop lovers, right? The name is cute, but the contents sound serious!
Hop BroExactly. They use five kinds of American hops generously, and it’s a crisp IPA that really brings out the hop aroma. It’s the kind that grabs you with the scent first.
MugiAnd Citra Bar’s Koenji location is close to the station and easy for beer comparison, right? If I stop by after work, I feel like I’d end up having three drinks before I know it. Dangerous!
Hop BroIt’s open at 4:00 p.m. on weekdays and 12:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays, and there are spring event previews too, so it’s really hot right now. At this point, you won’t want just one drink in Koenji, you’ll want three.
MugiYeah, it’s decided for today! I want to toast in Koenji and enjoy Citrus on the Rock, then Kinki, then Osaru IPA in order!
