MugiHuh! Is that the beer called Mont Grain?
Hop BroExactly. Officially it's FRENCH SAISON, a saison with French hops dialed up.
MugiWhat's a saison? I'm really curious about that smooth, expansive drinking profile.
Hop BroIt originally has a farmhouse-beer vibe, with fermentation finishing it crisp. What makes this one interesting is the bright hop aroma layered on top.
MugiWow, so the aroma is floral? Hints of flowers and mandarin orange sound really stylish.
Hop BroExactly. When you take a sip, a subtle acidity and a bitterness like citrus peel linger. And because the finish is dry, it goes down really easily.
MugiDry means it's not sweet, right? If it's a light, easy-drinking type, I could totally go for it!
Hop BroYeah, it doesn't push sweetness; it has body, but the aftertaste is clean. So it's easy to pair with food and also good as your first beer.
MugiThat's perfect! It feels like a beer I'd want to stop for on the way back from a walk around Yoyogi-Uehara or Yoyogi Park.
Hop BroExactly. There's the fun of trying a new keg at a relaxed bar, and the rotating guest beers are part of San.publichouse's appeal.
MugiJust hearing about it is making me thirsty! Tonight I want to drink Mont Grain, so Hop bro, come with me too!
