Hop BroToday’s guest at Susukino ale STAND in Sapporo is NORTH ISLAND BEER’s CORIANDER WHITE!
MugiWhoa, even the name sounds stylish! What kind of beer is it? Is it a white beer style?
Hop BroIt’s a Belgian Wit, with specs of ABV 5.0% and IBU 10, designed to be light and easy to drink.
MugiI see IBU all the time, but honestly I still don’t get it... is that a bitterness number?
Hop BroExactly. IBU is a measure of bitterness, and 10 is pretty mild, so the image is basically a bitterness you can just keep gulping down.
MugiOhhh! And I saw there’s no orange peel, so where does the citrusy feel come from?!
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part: the aroma is built only with coriander seed, and it really brings out a fresh citrus-spice character.
MugiWhat! And the fruity character from the Belgian yeast is basically those ester aromas from the yeast, right?
Hop BroExactly. Fruity aroma compounds layer together without becoming too sweet, giving it a clear aromatic profile that also pairs well with food.
MugiNow I really want to drink it! If I can check it both in the shop and on EC, then tonight this is the only choice!
A new guest beer has been announced at Susukino ale STAND, the beer pub on the B1 floor of COCONO SUSUKINO in Sapporo. This time, the featured beer is "CORIANDER WHITE" from @northislandbeer (NORTH ISLAND BEER).
The specs in the post are ABV 5.0% / IBU 10 / Belgian Wit. While built around an easy-drinking profile, the aroma design is the main attraction of this beer. Rather than using orange peel, which is common in many Belgian witbiers, the aroma is expressed solely through coriander seed. As a result, the beer brings forward the fresh citrus notes and spiciness characteristic of coriander, layered with the lively fruity qualities derived from Belgian yeast.
For anyone who likes white beer but wants to enjoy the clarity of aroma more than sweetness, this seems like a particularly good match. At 5.0% ABV, it is not too heavy, making it easy to enjoy on its own or alongside food.
Susukino ale STAND has the appeal of being in a convenient downtown location where craft beer can be enjoyed casually. In addition, the shop says its lineup can be checked and purchased not only in-store but also through its e-commerce site, making it easy to access even on days when visiting in person is difficult. If you find a beer that catches your eye, it is worth checking early, including stock availability and reservation options.
