Hop BroAt the beer pub Beer Cellar Ichinomiya in Aichi Prefecture's Ichinomiya City, I found an interesting tasting comparison. Blade Factory Brewing, Hop Kotan Brewing, and Swan Lake Beer were all on the lineup, so this was easy to get into.
MugiWait, you can compare three beers? That sounds like a beer exam, and I'm already excited!
Hop BroFirst up is Blade Factory Brewing's Whet Stone. It has a banana-like aroma, with soft malt character and yeast-driven notes that come through gradually.
MugiA banana aroma? Does beer secretly have fruit in it? Yeast-driven? That sounds almost magical!
Hop BroIt really can. Those aromas are created by the yeast. During fermentation, esters are formed, and they can come across as something like a banana nuance.
MugiOhh! So the next one, Hop Kotan Brewing's Transparent Express, sounds sharp just from the name!
Hop BroExactly. Its appeal is the clean, crisp finish that suits a Cold IPA. Even though it's an IPA, it doesn't feel too heavy, so it's easy to drink and perfect for comparing the shape of the flavor.
MugiCold IPA sounds like a train in the cold, but the beer world really is complicated! If it's focused on easy drinking, then I can probably handle it!
Hop BroAnd to finish, Swan Lake Beer's Agano Saison. It has that beautiful saison-like aftertaste, and among the three it's the one that settles the most calmly.
MugiNice, it feels like enjoying things slowly rather than getting drunk in a flashy way! If it ends with a calm lingering finish, I can drink elegantly all the way through!
Hop BroAnd what's great here is that you can choose while talking with the owner. If you want to compare the three beers available right now a little at a time, this is exactly the kind of place that makes it fun.
MugiI've decided! If I'm drinking in Ichinomiya, I'm going here! I want to take it on like a three-drink pub crawl and compare each beer carefully with you, Hop big bro!
