Hop BroToday I'm introducing West Coast Brewing's "McKenzie Pils," currently being featured at beer bar Cyblume in Maruyamacho, Shibuya. It's pretty great that you can drink WCB's pilsner at a neighborhood beer pub.
MugiWhat, a pilsner can be the star like that!? Just hearing the guest beer star makes me curious!
Hop BroExactly. And the key point is that it uses McKenzie hops sourced from Hollingbery & Son Hops, so made with McKenzie hops is what really matters.
MugiWhat is that, does the hop name show up directly in the beer's impression!? Can you really tell a hop's personality that clearly?
Hop BroYou can, you can. A lemon-like aroma, cereal- and biscuit-like graininess, then a refreshing layer of herbs and green tea-like notes. The aroma layers are beautifully clean and really three-dimensional.
MugiWow! Even though it's a pilsner, it has so much personality. Lemon and biscuit gives it a kind of snack-like feel I love!
Hop BroThe style is Pilsner, and the ABV is 5.5%. It has a light body with a crisp bitterness, and a clean bitterness should feel really pleasant.
Mugi5.5% sounds easy to drink, but it still has that snap!? Light but sharp is such a sneaky-good balance!
Hop BroAnd beer bar Cyblume is a little off the bustle near the station in Maruyamacho, so it's nice and relaxed to drink there. As a place to enjoy a beer's contours, this kind of pilsner is a perfect match.
MugiWow, taking your time to enjoy it in a quiet place sounds amazing. I think I'm already set on pilsner for tonight!
Hop BroThat's the plan. It's perfect for anyone who wants to try West Coast Brewing's lager, and today is definitely the kind of day to drink with the feeling of nailed it from the first glass.
MugiYeah, my throat is already getting excited on its own! A glass that makes you want to toast is exactly this!
