Canal brewing Taps FLORA FERMENTATION's Nektar - Berry & Pear-
Canal brewing in Oimachi, Tokyo, highlighted FLORA FERMENTATION's fruit sour ale Nektar - Berry & Pear- on Instagram. The beer blends blackberry, strawberry, blueberry, and blackcurrant with a pear accent, and it is now available on tap.
Hop BroToday’s topic is that Nektar - Berry & Pear- from FLORA FERMENTATION in Shiga just tapped in at Canal brewing in Oimachi.
MugiWhat, that already sounds delicious! Berries and pear in a beer? That sounds more like dessert!
Hop BroThe style is Fruits Sour Ale. It blends blackberry, strawberry, blueberry, and currant, then layers in European pear for a fruit sour profile.
MugiHold on, fruit sour? Is that basically tart juice, or is it a beer wearing a fruit basket as a disguise?
Hop BroPut simply, sweet-tart fruitiness hits first, then a crisp beer-like acidity follows behind it. The pear smooths the whole thing out.
MugiOooh, so the berries make the big entrance and the pear supports from the back? Pear as the organizer is kind of amazing.
Hop BroThat’s the appeal. It should feel bright and juicy up front, but still have soft depth underneath, so it doesn’t come off one-note.
MugiAnd Canal brewing doesn’t just pour its own beer, right? They also serve guest brewery taps like this, which makes it feel like treasure hunting.
Hop BroExactly. That’s Canal brewing’s strength. If you’re chasing fresh tap beer in Oimachi, a featured pour like this is the kind of thing to remember.
MugiBlackberry, strawberry, blueberry, and currant? That’s a full-on berry quartet! Add pear and now it’s basically a fruit concert.
Hop BroAnd this kind of beer should work before or after food. The lively fruit character makes it fit as an opener or a closing glass.
MugiNow I totally want one. A fresh pour from the tap in Oimachi sounds perfect right now!
