Hop BroTHE CRAFT's new guest in Susukino, Sapporo is a pretty interesting one. It's a fruit ale from Trans Brewing made with Sicilian lemon juice, and the way the aroma lifts already feels like spring.
MugiWhoa! A beer with lemon juice sounds like it could be super sour and juice-like. It almost feels like beer wearing a non-beer face!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. It's not just sour; the hop-derived aroma also comes through with a honey-like note. So instead of tasting simply sweet and sour, it finishes with a soft, fragrant feel.
MugiHoney-like aroma and lemon? That sounds like the flavors are having a very busy meeting! I'm curious which one is the star!
Hop BroThe lemon is definitely the star, but I like that there are clear layers to the aroma. The bright punch of Sicilian lemon juice comes first, and then a gentle hop nuance lingers afterward.
MugiOhhh! Then it really does sound easy to drink even for people who don't usually like beer. That clean, soft feel seems like a pretty broad entry point!
Hop BroExactly. The post also gave the impression that it's easy to recommend even to people who don't like beer. Fruit ales are already light and easygoing, but when the aroma is handled this carefully, they also work well as an aperitif.
MugiIt works as an aperitif too? So it's the kind of drink you can enjoy while putting on a stylish face for your first glass!
Hop BroAnd THE CRAFT is a place where you can enjoy a wide range of taps in the center of Susukino. The hashtags also lined up brewery names from all over Japan, which gives it the feel of a lineup made to appeal to beer lovers.
MugiWow, that's dangerous! Now I'm completely in the mood to taste the aroma. I want to drink that lemon beer in Susukino!
Hop BroThat's the plan. The right move is to toast with a spring lemon beer and slowly follow how the aroma changes. Now I want to drink it right away too.
