Hop BroToday, the beer pub in Kitasenju, Bia Ma Kitasenju, has a lineup that's really appealing. It's got lemon, kabosu, even blue-looking beer all in one place, so it's the kind of selection that hits hard on a hot day.
MugiWhoa! They're going all in on citrus beers? It sounds kind of like juice and super easy to drink, but is it really still beer?
Hop BroIt's definitely beer. First up is Typhoon's Meyer Lemon Formosa Sour, a sour ale made with plenty of lemon. It has a strong juice-like character, so it's an easy one to recommend even to people who like lemon sour.
MugiA sour ale means it's in the tart and tasty zone? But if it's easy to recommend to lemon sour fans, that does make me a little curious!
Hop BroExactly. The acidity takes center stage in that style. And Isekadoya's Kabosu Beat is a beer cocktail made with kabosu juice, introduced as a radler.
MugiA radler? What is that! The moment it's labeled a beer cocktail, it suddenly sounds stylish. If it smells like kabosu, that already feels like a guaranteed win!
Hop BroThen Johana's Great Blue adds even more visual impact. It's a fruit ale made with lemon juice, and the blue liquid color is so refreshingly cool that just holding the glass feels like a trip to a summer retreat.
MugiBlue beer? That's cheating with the cool-looking appearance! But even though it looks sweet, it's still a light, easy-drinking beer, right?
Hop BroThat's right. And what's great is that Black Raven's West Coast IPA has been newly tapped. It has a nice balance of freshness, tropical notes, and bitterness from New Zealand hops, and it neatly rounds out the citrus theme.
MugiI see, so you finish with an IPA! If it opens at 17:00 and last orders are at 22:00, then there's no excuse not to stop by after work. Now I really want a pint right away!
