Hop BroToday we're talking about the new arrivals at Sekimachi Cellar in Nerima. Two beers came in from VERTERE in Okutama, including a limited collaboration.
MugiWhoa, just two beers and they already sound strong! Just hearing limited collaboration gives off serious scramble-for-it vibes!
Hop BroFirst up is Typhina. It's a Modern Pilsner, and it's a collaboration between VERTERE and Nara Beer.
MugiModern Pilsner? What's that! Pilsner is the crisp, clean kind, right?
Hop BroExactly. Modern means it gets a contemporary twist. It has sharp bitterness and lager-like clarity, with citrus and white-grape notes too.
MugiOhhh! A refreshing beer with white grape aroma too? That's somehow refined and unfairly good!
Hop BroThe other one is Heliconia, a Hazy IPA. At 7.0% ABV, it hits hard with tropical notes like mango and pineapple.
MugiIt's hazy but easy to drink!? Hearing oats and wheat makes it sound soft and mellow!
Hop BroThat's right. The mouthfeel is soft, but the hop layers still build on each other properly. That's what makes a Hazy IPA so good: rich, yet easy to keep drinking.
MugiAnd Sekimachi Cellar lets you have a drink at the standing counter too, right? Then I'll take Typhina, and hop brother can take Heliconia, and we'll toast!
