Hop BroAt HOP MAN in Chigasaki, Y.MARKET BREWING's "Decorian" has been newly tapped. Since it's come in as a guest beer, it's one you'll want to catch while you can.
MugiWhoa, even the name Decorian sounds delicious! But dark beer with shiranui peel is really hard to picture.
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting: even though it has a dark beer base, it doesn't come off as too heavy. They steeped in plenty of shiranui peel, so the citrus brightness really comes through.
MugiThey steep shiranui peel in it? They do that!? So does that make the fruitiness come forward?
Hop BroExactly. Because it's peel rather than juice, the aromatic nuances stand out more than the sweetness. And since the dark beer's roasted character remains as the base, it doesn't end up being just another citrus beer.
MugiWow, and then they add coriander on top of that too!? That's like a spice traffic jam!
Hop BroBut that coriander works, giving the finish a crisp, refreshing balance. The Belgian-style aromatics make it come together with a slightly elegant feel, which is clever.
MugiSo the style is Belgian Fruits Ale! Just hearing Belgian makes it sound stylish.
Hop BroThe specs are solid too, at ABV 7.0%, but with an IBU of 23.33, the bitterness isn't too strong. It has plenty of body, yet the citrus aftertaste lets it finish smoothly.
MugiSo this is what makes following guest taps at HOP MAN fun. If I could drink something like this in Chigasaki, I'd probably keep coming back.
Hop BroExactly. That's the charm of HOP MAN: finding these once-in-a-lifetime pours around Chigasaki Station. Today, it's definitely one you'd want to go for and drink together.
MugiYeah, hearing a shiranui-and-black beer makes me want to drink it for sure! Let's head to HOP MAN today and toast with Decorian!
