Kagurazaka BEER OLYN Taps Uchu's New ATOM PASSIONFRUIT
The beer pub "BEER OLYN" in Tokyo's Kagurazaka shared its new tap lineup in a March 18 post. Centered on Uchu Brewing's "ATOM PASSIONFRUIT," the selection also includes a range of distinct taps, from West Coast IPA and Coffee Stout to Kölsch and Hazy IPA.
Hop BroAt BEER OLYN in Kagurazaka, the March 18 update brought in ATOM PASSIONFRUIT tapped. This tap lineup is pretty interesting, right?
MugiWhoa! The name sounds cosmic! Just seeing Uchu Brewing new arrival is enough to get me excited!
Hop BroAnd the style is Tropical Smoothie Sour, with 5.5% ABV. It's designed so the refreshingly tart passion fruit is layered with the richness of coconut cream.
MugiWhat is that supposed to be! What is a smoothie sour? Is it juice? Is it beer? My brain can't keep up!
Hop BroBasically, it's an idea that adds fruitiness and body to a tart beer, creating a smooth, thick mouthfeel. It drinks more like dessert, but it's still definitely beer.
MugiOhhh! Then I want to know about the other taps too! What kind of beers are on tap now?
Hop BroThere's a lot of range. BREW CLASSIC's Let's La Pause and WAR's RAGE are West Coast IPAs, BALDYS GOODBEER's NO HANDLE BARS is a Coffee Stout, Dieu Du Ciel!'s Sentinelle is a Kölsch, and nomodachi's oboroterasu is a Hazy IPA, making this a paradise for comparison drinking lineup.
MugiThat's a ton of information all at once! What is a Kölsch? Is that one okay being next to a Coffee Stout!?
Hop BroKölsch is light and clean, Coffee Stout leans heavily roasted, IPAs are bitterness-driven, and Hazy is juicy. In other words, each one has a different personality, so you can have fun choosing the order.
MugiKagurazaka having that many choices is the best...! I want to start with the passion fruit pour!
Hop BroIt's decided, let's toast at BEER OLYN. Tonight is the kind of night that makes you want to take on the tap challenge.
