The beer pub "Stand Umineko SiB100" in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, has unveiled its new beer, "Furi (Alt)," on Instagram. This copper-colored pour, inspired by Altbier from Dusseldorf, Germany, is marked by a toasted malt aroma and sharp bitterness.
Hop BroThe Shibuya Dogenzaka Stand Umineko SiB100 has rolled out its new Furi (Alt) on Instagram. For altbier fans, this is one to watch.
MugiWhoa! What even is altbier? It sounds strong just from the name, but is it different from dark beer?
Hop BroBasically, it's an Altbier style that takes inspiration from the traditional beer of Dusseldorf, Germany. This one comes in at ABV 5.0, IBU 40, and SRM 18, so its flavor structure is pretty clearly defined.
MugiABV, IBU, SRM? That suddenly sounds like code! Can you really tell a beer's personality from a string of numbers?
Hop BroYou can. ABV is the alcohol content, IBU is the bitterness measure, and SRM is the color depth. In other words, this one is about moderate strength, distinct bitterness, and that copper-colored clarity.
MugiOhh! It sounds gorgeous in a glass! But is the aroma more flashy, or is malt sweetness the star?
Hop BroThe star is definitely the malty character, with clear notes of biscuits and nuts. When you drink it, there's the fullness of an ale, and the finish snaps clean like a lager, with noble hop bitterness cutting right through.
MugiWait, it's an ale but lager-like? Which is it then!? Soft yet crisp sounds like it has a split personality!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. It's designed as a tribute to Dusseldorf, and instead of relying on flashy fruit aroma, it drinks through its color, aroma, and bitterness. And since the place has up to 21 taps, it has that nice feeling of meeting a beer as it comes through the rotation.
MugiI see! It sounds like a great match for food, and perfect for a day when you just want a quiet drink in Shibuya. Just hearing about it makes my throat remember beer!
Hop BroExactly. A beer like this gets more enjoyable the more slowly you drink it. Tonight, I kind of want to hold a Furi (Alt) and check out the balance between its toastiness and bitterness.
MugiYeah, I'm totally in now too! A drink in Dogenzaka sounds like something I want right this second!
