Hop BroNagoya has a tap update worth talking about: over at KEG-NAGOYA in Higashisakura, Lychingale is pouring.
MugiWhat! That name already sounds super tropical. Is this Ushitora’s latest oddball beer?
Hop BroExactly. It’s the first beer Ushitora Brewery has brewed with lychee, basically a lychee white-style ale.
MugiWhoa! Fruit beer sounds sweet, though... so how does it still keep easy-drinking balance?
Hop BroIt’s ABV 5.5% with IBU 12, keeps the tartness from pushing too hard, and lets the grain softness carry it, so it’s aroma first, smooth after.
MugiIBU 12 sounds gentle enough, but the hops say CRYOPOP inside? What is that, some transformation gadget?
Hop BroThe name is dramatic, but it basically concentrates hop aroma, so think of it as a tropical aroma booster.
MugiOhh, got it! And with Belgian Wit yeast, that means there’s also a white-beer kind of nuance, right?
Hop BroRight. Pilsner, wheat, and oat malts round out the mouthfeel, so the lychee aroma and yeast character land as a calm, layered pint.
MugiIf a relaxed place like KEG-NAGOYA is serving that, I’m in trouble. This is basically a lychee aroma check party!
Hop BroThat’s the fun of a guest beer. Since it’s not the usual lineup, now feels perfect for an aroma-led glass.
MugiJust hearing that makes me thirsty! Nagoya people are lucky, and now I’m fully in a need-a-beer mood.
KEG-NAGOYA in Higashi-Sakura, Nagoya, has added Lychee'ngale from Ushitora Brewery to its guest beer lineup. As a beer pub built around craft beer, it is a fitting place to enjoy a brew with a clear aromatic character and a distinctive fruit-forward profile.
A lychee-led wheat ale
`Lychee'ngale` is Ushitora Brewery’s first white ale brewed with lychee. The beer is a Fruit Wheat Ale with 5.5% ABV and 12 IBU. The grist includes Pilsner, Wheat, and Oat, with CRYOPOP hops and Belgian Wit Yeast, plus lychee as the special ingredient.
According to the brewery’s release notes, the beer was designed to balance lychee aroma with Belgian white ale character while keeping acidity in check. The result is a beer that feels fruity and expressive, but still retains the soft texture and structure of a wheat-based ale.
Why it fits KEG-NAGOYA
KEG-NAGOYA is the kind of place where a guest beer like this can stand out naturally. In a setting focused on craft beer, Lychee'ngale gives drinkers a chance to follow the aroma from the first sip through to the finish and appreciate how the fruit character interacts with the wheat base and Belgian yeast.
For beer fans looking for something a little different from the usual hop-led guest taps, this is an easy recommendation: a fruit wheat ale with a clear lychee identity, gentle body, and a cleanly managed finish.
