MugiWhat! That name already sounds intense! And four different berries too? That’s basically a fruit basket jumping into a pint!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It uses blackberry, raspberry, cranberry, and blueberry, then finishes with a Citra hop touch.
MugiWait, what does that even mean? Did a beer nerd just crash the berry party? Is the hop the citrus guy?
Hop BroPretty much. Citra often adds a citrusy aroma, so it lifts the sweet-tart berry character like an aroma balancing act.
MugiOhhh, nice! And the article says ABV is 4.5%, right? That sounds perfect for hot, sticky weather.
Hop BroExactly. The style is a fruit sour ale, built to feel neither too light nor too heavy, so the tartness and fruitiness should stay balanced.
MugiNow I want the backstory too! It feels like a Yokosuka rising star, but when did this brewery start?
