Hop BroThe beer pub KEG-NAGOYA in Higashisakura, Nagoya, is serving Morita Kinshachi Beer’s “Kinshachi Beer Platinum Ale” as a guest beer. What’s interesting is that it’s a White Ale-style beer.
MugiWhoa! Platinum Ale sounds powerful from the name alone, and it’s a White Ale? What does it taste like? Is it sparkly?
Hop BroIt’s less sparkly and more about a soft mouthfeel. The mildness from wheat malt is layered with citrus notes and aromas like banana and clove.
MugiBanana and clove? Wait, did the beer suddenly wander into the spice aisle? It’s like a trio of aromas and my brain can’t keep up!
Hop BroThat’s the esters and phenols from the yeast at work. In other words, the aromas created by fermentation are what produce the fruity and spicy character.
MugiI see, amazing... And hearing that the bitterness is gentle makes it sound easy to drink even for beginners. I’m glad it isn’t heavy.
Hop BroExactly. Even though it’s all-malt, it doesn’t feel heavy, and the key point is that it combines lightness and refreshment. At 5% ABV, it’s just right as a first beer.
MugiAnd KEG-NAGOYA always has 13 beers on rotation, swapping them out when they sell out! It’s like a beer gacha machine, a different person every time you go!
Hop BroThat’s exactly the feeling. In Higashisakura, Higashi Ward, Nagoya, the appeal of KEG-NAGOYA is that you can encounter fast-turnover draft beer.
MugiAnd if they have Chinese-based dishes too, that’s the best for enjoying it with pairings in mind! Matching it with light snacks would make the aromas stand out even more.
Hop BroIf you’re wandering around the Sakae / Hisaya-odori area and want to casually enjoy a beer that feels like Nagoya, this is the perfect stop. All right, now I really want to go drink the Platinum Ale today.
MugiYeah, I want to drink it right now! I want to experience those banana and clove aromas too, and go all in with the snacks as well!
