Hop BroToday's topic is Kirari Brewery in Yamaga. They're highlighting their seasonal 'Salt Lemon Ale' with a second brew run, and it sounds made for late summer.
MugiWait, Salt Lemon Ale already tastes like summer in my head. What does it actually taste like?
Hop BroIt's got bright lemon aroma, a gentle salty edge, and a pilsner-malt base that keeps the body light and clean.
MugiWhoa, pilsner-malt base suddenly sounds like chemistry class. What does that even mean?
Hop BroBasically, it's a simple grain backbone without extra heaviness. That way the lemon and salt can pop while staying crisp and easy-drinking.
MugiOkay, so the lemon squad and salt squad can go wild, and the malt chaperone keeps order. And second brew run means people loved the first one, right?
Hop BroExactly. They made another batch because it was popular. In brewing, one batch is one full brew cycle, and salty and refreshing is a pretty perfect tagline.
MugiWhat is that! Salty and refreshing is such a dangerous phrase. On a hot day I'd probably clap for my own glass.
Hop BroIt also sounds great with fried food, yakitori, edamame, seafood, or grilled meat. Served cold, it's great with food, and now I want one.
MugiSame here. Put me in that Yamaga taproom, staring at the tanks with an ice-cold pint, because both of us are ready to drink this right now.
