MugiWhoa, just the name Kataura Lemon Ale sounds delicious! What’s lemon beer like?
Hop BroIt’s a fruit ale made with “Shonan Shiosai Lemon” from the Kataura area of Odawara City. The appeal is its bright flavor, bringing out the lemon’s sweetness and refreshing aroma.
MugiA fruit ale sounds kind of like a fruit juice drink? Or is it really beer?
Hop BroIt’s definitely beer. The malts are pilsner and carapils, and the hops are US-grown Citra, Mosaic, and El Dorado, so the foundation is a solid malt beer.
MugiWhat! Those hop names already sound like magic spells! But I’m getting excited because it seems like it’ll have a citrusy aroma!
Hop BroExactly. The citrus aromas from Citra and Mosaic team up nicely with the lemon. It’s aromatic but still easy to drink, so it’s perfect for warmer weather.
MugiAnd the lemon they use is Shonan Shiosai Lemon too, which sounds like it came straight out of a sea breeze! Growing it with minimal pesticides feels really careful.
Hop BroRight, the background of the ingredients is part of the flavor too. MOKICHI CRAFTBEER is a beer pub where you can enjoy Kumazawa Brewery’s Shonan Beer, so the strong point is that you can appreciate it with food pairings in mind.
MugiAnd the pairing is Fried Onion Rings with New Onions, right! Just the name makes me want another beer already... I’m curious about that slightly bitter batter too!
Hop BroYou get the sweetness of the new onions, a slightly bitter batter made with beer, and homemade tartar sauce. The lemon aroma and the savory scent of fried food don’t clash; they really complement each other in this pairing.
MugiJust reading about it makes me thirsty. So this is what bright acidity is like! I want to toast with the lemon ale and onion rings already!
Hop BroYeah, that settles it for today. With a refreshing glass in hand and something freshly fried to nibble on, it’s sure to be a perfect night.
