Hop BroBMB brewery 'HIGASHIE' has arrived at Craft Beer Pub Beer Rize in Chatan Town. And it's a collaboration with Derailleur Brew Works, so even the name alone already feels like something special.
MugiWhoa! It's a collaboration beer! The name and appearance both sound intense, but what does it taste like?
Hop BroIt's a Smoothie Sour, with an ABV of 4%. It's packed with fruitiness, centered on banana, mango, and lime.
MugiA smoothie sour? What even is that? Is it juice? Is it beer? My brain is already floating!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's a sweet-and-sour, rich sour ale. It leans into juicy aroma and mouthfeel, and even aims for a dessert-like character.
MugiI see! And being described as having a mixed-juice vibe in the tasting notes makes it even more interesting! It sounds like the kind of drink that would instantly hype you up the moment you take a sip!
Hop BroExactly. The sweetness of banana and mango is joined by the tartness of apple and lime. Then peach and sour cherry are layered in, and the finish is wrapped in custard cream.
MugiWait, that's way too much fruit! If it has banana all the way to custard, it's basically a parfait festival in the fridge!
Hop BroBeer Rize has both a bottle shop and a taproom, and the selection has grown to around 120 bottles from Japan and abroad. It's nice that you can take your time choosing and drinking inside the shop.
MugiAnd after the renovation, bringing in your own food is allowed, right? That means you can bring your favorite snacks and slowly enjoy that sweet-and-sour beer!
Hop BroOpening a fruit-explosion sour like that in the atmosphere of Chatan, Okinawa, would be amazing. This is the kind of beer that makes you want to go there and have a toast together.
MugiYeah, I totally want to drink it! I'm in the mood for a glass right now, and if I find HIGASHIE, I'm definitely checking it out!
