Hop BroA new beer has appeared on tap 4 in Nishiki, Nagoya, and GRILLMAN has brought in CIN CIN BREWERY's "Fuji Bitter Ale." What's more, it's a UK IPA, so it's definitely one to watch.
MugiWhoa! "Fuji Bitter Ale" sounds delicious already! But what makes a UK IPA different from the usual IPA?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. It has a British-style backbone, and instead of pushing big, flashy aromas, it slowly brings out the malt richness and a calm bitterness.
MugiI see! But the sign says ABV 5.2% - is that strong or mild?
Hop BroIn terms of drinkability, that's a very comfortable range. At ABV 5.2%, it's easy to enjoy slowly with a meal.
MugiThen I want the flavor details too! IBU 26.9 suddenly feels like a science test!
Hop BroThink of it as a guide to bitterness and you're good. It's a moderate bitterness, so it doesn't hit too hard, but it still has the satisfying presence you'd expect from a UK IPA.
MugiGot it! What hops did they use? Saaz and Kent Goldings sounds classy already!
Hop BroExactly, that's what gives it that British feel. With Saaz and Kent Goldings, the design is less about bold fruitiness and more about herbal notes and a gentle aroma.
MugiAnd it's brewed in the Yamanakako area, right? Just hearing "at the foot of Mount Fuji" makes the beer feel like a feast!
Hop BroRight, and the location in Yamanashi Prefecture at 1,001 meters above sea level adds to the romance. It was the kind of article that makes you want to have a drink in Nishiki with a meal at GRILLMAN.
MugiYeah, I can't resist this one! It feels like a drink you can enjoy calmly, and now I want to go toast one right away!
