Hop BroThere's a new tap at PORT LUCK CLUB in Sendai. Keika Brewing from Aomori, Hotarubi Brewing, has brought in "Unite // Unite."
MugiWhoa! Just being able to drink Aomori beer in Sendai is exciting all by itself! And the name "Unite" already feels like something that brings people together!
Hop BroAnd it's not just a regular pale ale either. It's a HAZY Pale Ale w/Apple. They use Aomori-grown apple juice to really bring out the fruitiness.
MugiWait, Hazy is the cloudy one, right? But if they add apple too, doesn't it end up with juice-like vibes even though it's beer?
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. They layer apple sweetness over aromas like passion fruit and tropical fruit. It's also easy to drink at 5.0%, so it's not made too heavy.
MugiOhhh! So it has a bright aroma but still goes down smoothly. That soft mouthfeel is great for beginners too!
Hop BroExactly. And this one is aiming for a balance of fruitiness and a clean finish rather than just blasting you with hops. It has the gentleness of a Hazy, but the aftertaste leans refreshing.
MugiThat's unfair! Rich-tasting but easy to drink? That's basically unbeatable, isn't it?
Hop BroAnd PORT LUCK CLUB is great because you can enjoy the rotating guest beers in the state they're in that day. Being able to follow a Tohoku pint in Miyamachi is irresistible for beer pub fans.
MugiWow, meeting the flavors of Aomori in Sendai is amazing! Today, we pretty much have to go drink that apple-scented pint!
Hop BroExactly. With a beer like this, you can feel the connection across Tohoku from the very first sip.
MugiYep, yep, today definitely feels like a day for a toast with "Unite // Unite"! I can't stop wanting to drink it right now!
