Hop BroShinobazu Brewery Hitsujiaisu in Tokyo's Taito Ward has brought out its new beer, "Kamitsure." Just the name already makes you feel like a herbal aroma is about to drift up, right?
MugiWhat! Kamitsure sounds like the name of a flower! It says chamomile-scented, but they're putting it in beer!?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. The style is English Pale Ale, and by layering chamomile on top of it, it's designed so you can enjoy the aroma even before you drink it.
MugiUm, is English Pale Ale different from just pale ale? Is it kind of like an easy-to-drink bitterness?
Hop BroSimply put, it's a pale ale that emphasizes balance without getting too flashy. This time it's ABV 5.5%, so it's in a range that's neither too light nor too heavy and should pair well with food.
MugiWow! And chamomile makes me think of herbal tea, so classy! Herbal notes all the way through the finish sounds kind of refined!
Hop BroExactly. The key is that you notice chamomile in the aroma before drinking and in the aftertaste after drinking, and the herbal tea-style design really seems to be right on target.
MugiWhat is that, a beer that tastes tea-like? That's almost cheating! And Shinobazu Brewery Hitsujiaisu is really focused on pairing with lamb dishes, right?
Hop BroThat's right, it's a place in the Ueno area that pairs lamb dishes with house-brewed beer. So this food-friendly pint could shine even more when you drink it with a meal.
MugiOoh, just imagining it is delicious! Grabbing some lamb dishes in Ueno and checking out a limited beer sounds like a lot of fun!
Hop BroThat's settled then. You can enjoy this one on its own or with a meal, and it's irresistible for anyone who loves aroma. The next drink we both want is Kamitsure.
