Hop BroThere was a keg change at BEER BAR BREAK in Ota City, Gunma. "UPSTREAM POP" from OCTONE Brewing in Minakami Town has arrived, and it's a beer I'm really curious about.
MugiWhoa, UPSTREAM POP already sounds stylish! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's a juicy pale ale, and the nice thing about it is that it's easy to drink at 5.0% ABV. The point is that it brings the hop aroma forward without being too heavy.
MugiJuicy and pale ale? Wait, does juicy pale ale mean it has fruit juice in it?
Hop BroNot juice, but a strong expression of citrusy hop aroma. It gives off impressions like orange and grapefruit, the kind of beer that makes you want to swallow just from the aroma.
MugiOhhh! But if it mentions people with "sensitive noses," does that mean the aroma is really that strong? So it's a beer with a strong aroma?
Hop BroExactly, and the bitterness is pretty restrained too. It's a light, easy-drinking pour with fruitiness and acidity as accents, so even though it has IPA-like hop character, it goes down smoothly.
MugiThat's amazing! Even if I'm curious about IPAs but a little scared of the bitterness, this low-bitterness design sounds like something I could handle!
Hop BroThat's right. And BEER BAR BREAK is a dependable beer pub in Ota, so the best part is being able to enjoy Gunma draft beer on the spot. Staying open until 2 a.m. is almost dangerously convenient for beer lovers, too.
MugiWow, now it's turning into an I want to drink this right now situation...! Today I want to get excited over the aroma and finish with a cold pint.
