Hop BroTaru Taru in Takamatsu just got three VERTERE guest beers: Macranthos, Solandra, and Melilotus. This is a compare-the-aromas lineup for sure.
MugiWhat! VERTERE in Takamatsu? And all those names sound fierce. They’re spellbook-level names!
Hop BroFirst, Macranthos is an American Pale Ale at 5.5% ABV and 30 IBU. It gives you citrus, flowers, herbs, and even fresh-cut grass, with malt and gentle bitterness in a light, steady balance.
MugiWhoa, what even is IBU? And grassy aroma means what exactly? I’m not drinking the soccer field, right?
Hop BroThat part matters. IBU is a bitterness scale, and 30 is nothing to be scared of. The grass note just means green and fresh, so think of it as a bitterness yardstick.
MugiOkay, that helps! So Solandra is an American IPA with only 20 IBU, which means it’s a gentle IPA?
Hop BroExactly. Solandra is 6.5% ABV, packed with juicy mango and passion fruit notes, a soft mouthfeel, and a citrus-blossom finish. It’s a different face of IPA built on a Hazy IPA concept.
MugiHazy is the cloudy one, right? Then where does Melilotus the Belgian Pale Ale fit into this? My brain is at full keg capacity!
Hop BroMelilotus is 5.5% ABV and 12 IBU, with pear and banana aromas plus a little spice and herbs. The yeast and hops overlap into a dry finish, so it’s a smooth-sipping Belgian. At a place like Taru Taru, I’d want to drink all three in order.
MugiAn American Pale Ale, a soft IPA, and a dry Belgian Pale Ale all in one stop? That’s too good. I seriously want to drink the whole flight now!
