Hop Brocraft beer BLUE in Sagamihara just tapped GANGI BREWING's OH SNAP! today. Even the name sounds like it arrived with perfect timing.
MugiWait, that cozy second-floor pub is pouring a West Coast Pilsner? That shot straight onto my must-drink list!
Hop BroAnd it's only ABV 5.0%, so it stays easy to drink. It goes down smoothly, but the aroma still makes its point.
MugiOkay, but what does hop-forward flavor actually mean? I always nod like I understand, and I absolutely do not.
Hop BroThis one opens with citrus and tropical fruit, then finishes with a piney, woody edge. Kind of like peeling fruit in the middle of a forest.
MugiWhat is that! Your tasting note just turned into a movie trailer. And when they say crisp finish, is this beer supposed to crunch?
Hop BroNo crunching. In beer, clean snap means it doesn't end sweet or heavy, so every sip resets your mouth and pulls you back in.
MugiOhhh, so it's an all-in-one pint: pilsner drinkability, but enough aroma to keep things fun.
Hop BroExactly. It uses Krush with Chinook, Columbus, Simcoe, Mosaic, and Nelson Sauvin, so the layered hop bill gives it real depth.
MugiThat's it, I'm done pretending to be calm. I need a glass tonight at craft beer BLUE.
Hop BroSame here. I want to sit down in Sagamihara and taste that citrus-and-bitterness snap for myself.
New tap
Today, craft beer BLUE adds GANGI BREWING’s "OH SNAP!" from Niigata’s Joetsu area. It is a West Coast Pilsner with an ABV of 5.0%. The beer is described as showing citrus and tropical fruit aromas, along with piney and woody accents, while keeping a crisp, dry finish and a satisfying bitterness.
Flavor profile
According to the brewery’s release notes, the recipe is built around Krush hops, with Chinook, Columbus, Simcoe, Mosaic, and Nelson Sauvin helping to widen the aroma. The result keeps the refreshing drinkability expected from a pilsner, but adds enough body and hop character to feel closer to an IPA in intensity. It should appeal to drinkers looking for both brightness and structure.
