Hop BroKishiwada Beer is releasing a 6-bottle set with Harusaki starting at 8:00 a.m. on May 22, right?
MugiWait, a 6-bottle set with three spring-limited bottles? That sounds seriously interesting!
Hop BroThe contents are one each of the standard Tekko, Kurotetsu, and Shirotetsu, plus three bottles of Harusaki.
MugiWow, the names sound strong already... but what does Tekko taste like?
Hop BroTekko uses a lot of wheat malt, and its appeal is its soft mouthfeel and citrus-hop aroma.
MugiOhh! So Kurotetsu sounds rugged in both appearance and taste, with roasted-malt richness?
Hop BroExactly. Kurotetsu has strong toasty fragrance and richness, while Shirotetsu is light and easy to drink, so tasting them side by side is fun.
MugiBut why is Harusaki so special? Does the revamp from Hassaku mean it's a fruit beer?
Hop BroYes, Harusaki is a flavored beer made with plenty of Hassaku grown in Kishiwada, and it blends moderate sweetness, refreshing acidity, and a gentle bitterness.
MugiWow, at 5% and 330 ml, it sounds like just the right amount to enjoy! Just having it in the fridge makes it feel like a spring feast!
Hop BroAnd at 3,780 yen (tax included), with noshi and simple packaging available, it's really easy to give as a gift too.
MugiBeing able to taste local ingredients and the character of the standard beers all at once feels like you're basically drinking Kishiwada's spring.
Hop BroAt this point, we probably both want to toast with Harusaki.
