Hop BroAt the beer pub Taru Taru in Kawaramachi, Takamatsu, they've tapped Y.MARKET BREWING's "DECORIAN." What's interesting is that even though it's a dark beer, it's not just heavy.
MugiWhoa, I thought dark beer was supposed to be rich, sweet, and bitter. A refreshing dark beer? That's such a strange combination!
Hop BroThat's the point: it's a fruit Belgian black. The base dark beer is infused with plenty of shiranui peel, and coriander is added too.
MugiShiranui peel? That's the Dekopon family, right? But I can't imagine at all what it tastes like when you add the peel!
Hop BroIt brings out the brightness of citrus, and then the cool freshness of coriander gently layers on top. It feels like the peel and the spice are shaking hands inside the beer.
MugiWow, that's stylish! And the description says it's Orangette-like. If it tastes like a chocolate-covered citrus candy, my stomach and my brain are both reacting!
Hop BroExactly. It also has a dry-fruit-like ester aroma, which gives the aroma more dimensionality. Esters are fruity aroma compounds produced by yeast.
MugiSo that's the fruity aroma from the yeast! But casually dropping technical terms is such a bad habit of yours, Hop bro!
Hop BroHaha, but the mouthfeel is clean, and the finish is crisp and refreshing. It still has that gentle bitterness of a dark beer, but it doesn't leave any heaviness behind.
MugiIf I drank something like this in a beer pub like Taru Taru, I'd get the differences in style even more clearly! Now I really want to go to Kawaramachi and try it for myself!
Hop BroYeah, when Y.MARKET BREWING's character meets Taru Taru's atmosphere, the fun of tasting side by side grows a lot. This is the kind of beer that makes you want to raise a glass from the very first sip.
MugiDeal! Now I'm in the mood to toast with a dark beer. I want to be washed over by those citrus and spice aromas in a glass as soon as possible!
At the beer pub Taru Taru in Kawaramachi, Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture, Y.MARKET BREWING's 'DECORIAN' is being introduced.
This beer is a fruit Belgian black built on a dark-beer base with a dry-fruit-like ester aroma and a clean drinking profile, infused with plenty of shiranui (Dekopon) peel. Coriander is added as a hidden accent, creating a finish where the brightness of citrus and the coolness of spice overlap.
The introduction compares the flavor to orangette, the confection made by coating candied citrus peel in chocolate, making both the gentle bitterness typical of dark beer and the vivid character from the fruit peel easy to imagine. It is also striking that the description emphasizes a refreshing, crisp finish rather than sheer heaviness.
