Hop BroI want to talk about Crystal Ale on tap at TOWA in Ueno today. It’s a beer from Swan Lake Beer, and it sounds perfect for hot weather.
MugiWait, so TOWA is a pub, not a brewery? And this is a guest beer pour? That already makes it sound fun.
Hop BroExactly. TOWA is a beer pub in Ueno, and this time they’re serving Swan Lake Beer as a guest tap.
MugiOhhh! So what kind of beer is Crystal Ale? The name sounds shiny, but what style is it? Is it super clear or something?
Hop BroThink of it as an easy-drinking refreshing ale style. You get dry-hop aroma up front, then a soft little touch of malt sweetness underneath.
MugiHold on, you tossed out dry-hop aroma like that was normal. What does that even mean? Are the hops hanging out like laundry?
Hop BroHere’s the simple version: hops are added later to boost aroma more than bitterness, basically a late aroma trick. That’s why it smells lively but still drinks light.
MugiOkay, that sounds amazing! So the aroma pops first, but the texture stays smooth and goes down crisp? That is such a first-glass-of-summer move.
Hop BroThat’s exactly it. And TOWA sounds like the kind of place where you can escape the heat and pick your first pint without rushing.
MugiYeah, no question, I want one right now. It sounds good as a starter and with food too, so Ueno suddenly feels very necessary.
