Hop BroWhat got tapped at the beer pub Ohashi Denki-ten in Minami-senba, Kumamoto City, was SOMA BEER's "WITHIN IPA 6.5%."
MugiWait, a beer at an electrical shop!? And it's a SOMA BEER IPA, which already sounds delicious from the name alone!
Hop BroThe thing is, it's an IPA you can have fun with by following a tropical impression layered with spiciness and blue herbs in the aroma.
MugiBlue herbs? What is that supposed to mean? Grass-like? "Herbal aroma" sounds hard to grasp before even drinking it!
Hop BroTo put it simply, Nelson-type hops and Citra are used to bring out both fruitiness and a grassy feel at the same time.
MugiOh, I see! So it's not just sweet, but it also turns crisp partway through. A beer with an "aromatic layering" thing going on is kind of cool!
Hop BroExactly. Rather than relying only on lightness, the fun of an aroma-driven IPA is that the more you drink it, the more its expression comes out.
MugiThat's the kind of beer that makes you stop holding the glass! Being able to enjoy it from the moment it's poured is the best!
Hop BroAnd since Ohashi Denki-ten lets you drink at a counter with taps, the nice part is being able to taste a rotating draft beer together with the atmosphere of the shop.
MugiIf you can find a beer like this in Kumamoto, of course you'd want to make a detour. I want to go experience that "refreshing and delicious!" feeling right now!
Hop BroAll right, let's have a drink in Minami-senba today. Let's catch the moment when the aroma blooms and drink "WITHIN IPA 6.5%" together.
