Hop BroBeer shop Llama in Mitaka just got six new beers from B.M.B Brewery. They came all the way from Miyazaki, and it’s the kind of lineup that makes both hop lovers and fruit fans grin.
MugiWhoa, six of them? So it’s a total fruit overload? Just looking at the menu is enough to make my head feel sweet!
Hop BroExactly, and the range is huge. From the light 3.5% lane to rich smoothie sours, it’s a really fun lineup to compare side by side.
MugiWhat is that! I saw there’s a collaboration with Okite Porsche, but Gorioshi Party Time sounds intense! IPL sounds like one of those complicated beers, right?
Hop BroNot really. Since it’s a Friendly IPL, you don’t have to be intimidated. It has sharp hop character, but there’s also a lime-like nuance and a mild softness, so it drinks smoothly, almost like it leans toward lager territory.
MugiHuh! But smoothie sours are so juice-like even though they’re beer, aren’t they? I feel like you could have them for breakfast!
Hop BroThat’s actually a pretty fair impression. For example, ZEST PUNK uses peach, mango, pink guava, lemon, and banpeiyu, with citrus sharpness layered over the sweetness.
MugiWait, isn’t that over the top!? And there’s even one that’s mixed-juice level? Banana and custard cream? That’s basically a dessert venue!
Hop BroThere is, and HIGASHIE’s dense character really plays around. It’s packed with banana, apple, mango, peach, sour cherry, lime, and custard cream, so the layers of flavor are lively.
MugiOkay, I can’t hold back anymore! If we compare them at Beer shop Llama, it’ll definitely be fun, and I’d want to finish with Ruby Tint or Amethyst Eye!
Hop BroThat’s a great choice. Ending with a strawberry-and-kyoho treat would be perfect. They’ve got everything from sweet-and-tart to crisp styles, so tonight’s definitely the kind of night that makes you want one more.
