Hop BroTakamatsu has a good one today: at Taru Taru in Kawaramachi, MAHOWBREW's The Cauldron is on tap.
MugiWait, the guest beer is an American DIPA? That name already sounds like it lifts weights!
Hop BroAnd it uses Ahtanum and Cascade, so you get a piney, woody aroma right up front.
MugiHold on, what does piney even mean? Is this basically drinking a forest now?
Hop BroMore like fresh pine and green resin on the nose. Then a hint of caramel rounds it out, so it isn't just bitterness.
MugiOkay, but ABV 8.0% and IBU 84? Those are very gym numbers.
Hop BroThat's the trick. With FG 1.011, it finishes with a dry, snappy mouthfeel instead of feeling heavy.
MugiFG too? I'm drowning in a splash of jargon over here!
Hop BroFG is basically how much sugar stays after fermentation. Lower means a crisper finish, which is why this works with meat dishes so well.
MugiSo it works before food, with food, and after food? That's ridiculous. I already want a pint right now.
Hop BroExactly. Checking out guest taps like this at Taru Taru is half the fun. Now I really want that magic cauldron in a glass.
