MugiWhat! You can get that in Takamatsu? And it’s a featured guest beer too? That already sounds like a detour worth making!
Hop BroKamo uses Simcoe and Citra in layers, with a classic balanced build that feels satisfying without getting too flashy.
MugiWhat is that even! Once you say Simcoe and Citra, it turns into a hop spell recital to me!
Hop BroPut simply, those hops bring citrusy, fresh character, and this beer has a no dry-hop approach, so the aroma stays tidy instead of overblown.
MugiOhhh! So instead of piling everything on, it’s more like grown-up balance with some restraint?
Hop BroExactly, and they use a Kolsch-style yeast at low temperature, protecting the clean hot-side aroma design they built during brewing.
MugiHot side makes me picture beer walking into a tiny brewery sauna room before a meeting, though!
Hop BroClose in spirit, not in science; it’s about shaping flavor around the boil, and I bet it would be great with Taru Taru’s lamb gyoza.
MugiThen it’s settled! Cute duck label, easygoing pale ale, and now I’m fully in a let’s keep drinking mood and want to run to Taru Taru.

OHLOY Brewing describes Kamo as a well-balanced, classic pale ale. The grist blends moderately malty malts with several types of pilsner malt, while Simcoe and Citra are layered in as the hop backbone. The beer is fermented slowly with Kölsch-type yeast at low temperature, and no dry hopping is used. Instead, the brewery keeps the focus on flavors built on the hot side and polishes them into a clean finish.
Rather than pushing bold aromatics, Kamo is designed as an everyday pale ale that stays composed glass after glass. The bitterness, citrus character, and malt depth are all kept in balance, making it the kind of beer that fits naturally in a beer pub setting.
That makes it a good match for a venue like Taru Taru, where local craft beer and food share the spotlight. The bar’s lineup and relaxed pub atmosphere make room for a pale ale like Kamo to stand out without needing to be flashy.
The label was designed by Kaede Nishihara, adding a visual identity that matches the beer’s calm, easygoing character. For drinkers looking for a straightforward pale ale in Takamatsu, this is one to note.
