MugiWait, it has cherry leaves in it!? Just hearing that makes it smell like spring!
Hop BroExactly. The brewery is `Derailleur Brew Works`, and the style is Sakura Dunkelweizen. It's designed to lean strongly into spring, with pickled cherry leaves added in.
MugiDunkel... Weizen... what even is that! It sounds like a spell, and my brain is already foaming before it even reaches my mouth!
Hop BroIt's a German-style wheat beer, and `dunkel` means dark. So it has a gentle sweetness, plus the subtle saltiness of cherry leaves, and it finishes clean and crisp.
MugiOh wow, sweet but not heavy is the best! If it has a clean finish, I could totally drink it even in the daytime!
Hop BroAnd it's 5.0% ABV, with restrained bitterness too. The label is pastel blue with cherry-blossom flurries, so the feel of spring air is there from the look alone.
MugiEven the look is spring!? A pastel blue label is already way too stylish!
Hop BroThe pairings are interesting too. `coffee mafia` chorizo and `BRISK STAND` original fried chicken both go well with it. The beer's sweetness and crispness take on the spicy heat really well.
MugiWait, it can handle both chicken and chorizo!? I want to eat and drink seriously with this spring-limited beer!
Hop BroBecause it's inside `reDine Shinjuku`, it's also easy to choose alongside a meal. In a space that feels like a beer-tasting paradise, you can find a beer that matches your mood.
