Hop BroAt Beer Space On Tap on Kobe's Motomachi-dori, Hoppy Weizen has been tapped. It's a calm beer pub underground, and it's the kind of place where you can enjoy following the cask changes.
MugiWait, solo guests are welcome? That sounds super easy to walk into! And if it's a smoke-free beer bar, it seems like a place where you can relax and drink.
Hop BroThis time's star is Minoh Beer's Hoppy Weizen. It's a WHEAT ALE with 5% ABV and 16 IBU, designed to layer the aroma of Weizen yeast with a modern hop character.
MugiWhat do you mean? Does Weizen yeast really change the aroma that much? Banana and clove sound like a bakery even though it's beer, so now I'm curious!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. It gives off banana- and clove-like aromas from the yeast, and because it also uses Hersbrucker and Nelson Sauvin, with Doldita in the dry hop, the aromas build in layers.
MugiWow! You can really tell the layers of hops? And with 50% wheat malt, it sounds like it'll have a soft, gentle mouthfeel!
Hop BroExactly. Because it's 50% wheat malt, the mouthfeel is soft, and with an IBU of 16 the bitterness is restrained. It's the kind of beer that feels great when you slowly track the aroma as you drink.
MugiAnd the other taps are amazing too! The range for tasting comparisons is insane. BLACK TIDE, Sapporo, and even TAISETSU BEER are all there, so it sounds fun to choose based on your mood!
Hop BroRight, the hoppy options are well represented too, and there are aroma-forward beers like Hazy Wave as well. With KESENNNUMA PRIDE and SORACHI 1984 in the mix, it makes you want to compare different personalities on the same day.
MugiJust dropping by Motomachi and checking the character of each tap sounds incredible. For me today, I want to start with Hoppy Weizen!
Hop BroThat's settled then. Let's look over the tap list before even picking up a glass and make a plan for how many beers we're having today. Honestly, now I want to drink it too.
MugiI want to drink too! If I were choosing my first glass right now, it'd have to be Hoppy Weizen, right? I want to savor those layers of aroma!
