Hop BroThe Shin Edokko Dry introduced by the Waseda beer pub Newschool has a very Kölsch-like character, and it's seriously intriguing.
MugiWait, what is a Kölsch style? It's like a lager but top-fermented, and my brain is already a little confused!
Hop BroSimply put, the fermentation leans more toward ale, but the appeal is that it drinks clean, like a lager.
MugiOhhh! So you can drink it smoothly, but it still has good aroma too, like it has the best of both worlds!
Hop BroExactly. And if you look at the numbers, the ABV is 5.0%, so it's easy to drink, and the IBU is 20, so the bitterness is gentle too.
MugiThere it is again, IBU! So that means it's the measure of bitterness, right?
Hop BroThat's right. At 20, it doesn't push too hard, but it still tastes like beer. It's exactly that kind of gentle bitterness.
MugiNewschool is the beer pub near Waseda University, right? If they always have seven kinds, choosing one sounds fun from the start!
Hop BroAnd since they center the place around their house brand, Edo Tokyo Beer, the pub's character really comes through.
MugiThis is absolutely the kind of beer that goes great with seasonal food! I want to drink it slowly with a meal!
Hop BroIf you find it in Nishi-Waseda, this is the first glass to start with. I'm already in the mood to tilt a glass today.
MugiSame here! I want to go drink that crisp, bright Shin Edokko Dry right now!
