NORTH ISLAND BEER's Haruyoi Arrives at Susukino Ale STAND: A Soft Spring-Flavored Helles
The Sapporo Susukino beer pub "Susukino Ale STAND" has introduced NORTH ISLAND BEER's seasonal beer "Haruyoi." It is presented as a beer that adds a touch of spring-like brightness to the soft malt sweetness and brisk drinkability typical of a Helles.
Hop BroSpring "Haruyoi" has arrived in the guest beer lineup in Sapporo's Susukino, and the fact that you can drink it at Susukino Ale STAND in the B1F of COCONO SUSUKINO makes it even better.
MugiWhat! Just the name "Haruyoi" already makes me feel like I'm at a cherry blossom viewing party!
Hop BroExactly. It's a seasonal release from NORTH ISLAND BEER, and the style is a spring-flavored Helles.
MugiA Helles? That sounds like a lager, but suddenly it feels like a German breeze blew in!
Hop BroSimply put, it's a beer that showcases the clean flavor of malt, and Haruyoi is built around a soft malt sweetness.
MugiOhhh! So it's easy to drink, but still has flavor, a gentle drinkability kind of beer!
Hop BroThat's right. And with ABV 5.0% / IBU 18, it's satisfying without being too bitter.
MugiWhen I hear IBU 18, it feels like I could handle it too! If the bitterness is restrained, it might be perfect for a spring drink!
Hop BroThe hops are Nugget, Tettnanger, and Audacia, and what really stands out is the elegant, bright aroma they bring.
MugiWhoa, and the label is cute with cherry blossoms too! If it looks fully springtime as well, I'm already hitting the order button!
Hop BroThis kind of softness in the Susukino night is almost unfair. Tonight makes me want to toast with Haruyoi.
MugiYeah, I'm completely feeling that too! I want to enjoy the late arrival of spring at a leisurely pace while having a drink in Susukino!
