Trans Brewing’s SOUR IPA-Style Guest Beer Appears at THE CRAFT
An Instagram post from THE CRAFT, the beer pub in Susukino, Sapporo, announced a new guest beer from Trans Brewing. The image confirms the Style SOUR IPA and Alc 5.0% markings, and it is described as having a grape-like aroma and gentle tartness.
Hop BroAt THE CRAFT in Susukino, a guest beer from Trans Brewing has arrived. Instagram had it marked as "NEW!!", and this time it’s a SOUR IPA-style beer, with an Alc 5.0% label, so it sounds like an easy-drinking one.
MugiWait! Does SOUR IPA mean a sour IPA? Just the name alone makes my face tighten up!
Hop BroThat reaction is basically right. It’s an IPA with a gentle tartness, not just something sour. It’s a style that creates a refreshing feel along with the hop aroma.
MugiOhhh! But IPAs usually make me think of more bitterness, right? What do you mean by a grape-like aroma?
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part. Depending on the hop variety and how it’s used, you can get an aroma that suggests white grapes. This one from Trans Brewing seems like the kind where the fruity character comes first, and then a clean outline of tartness lingers.
MugiWhat is that! A beer with a fruity mouthfeel sounds like it’s putting on a juice costume!
Hop BroBut that’s part of what makes craft beer fun. Because it has a light, easy-drinking character, it works well for people who want to try sour styles, and for people who want something a little different from their usual beer.
MugiI see. So THE CRAFT is the kind of place where you can enjoy these changing guest beers?
Hop BroExactly. It’s a beer pub in Sapporo’s Susukino area, and being able to drink with food is another strength. Being able to follow new beers like this one is what gives you a reason to keep coming back.
MugiIf it’s like that in Sapporo, I’d seriously want to stop in! Just the sound of having a drink in Susukino already makes it feel delicious.
Hop BroRight? With an aroma like white grapes, soft tartness, and an Alc 5.0% balance, I think this is a beer you’ll want to drink tonight.
MugiIt’s decided! My head is full of beer now! I want to raise a toast at THE CRAFT and find out what this SOUR IPA is really like!
