Hop BroThe guest announcement from Bakushu Yumeemi, the beer pub in Kyoto’s Gion Shijo, really has me interested. This time it’s Y/B/A/P #005 Kinkan Brett Saison, right?
MugiWhoa, even the name is packed with information! Kinkan Brett Saison? Kumquat and Brett? That sounds like a spell!
Hop BroNice catch. What they mean by Brett-derived funkiness is the character from Brettanomyces yeast, which gives off a slightly wild, layered aroma.
MugiWow, that got technical fast! So basically, it’s a somewhat wild saison?
Hop BroExactly. And because this beer is aged in red wine barrels, it also picks up woody aromas and a touch of tannin, which makes it interesting.
MugiWait, so the beer leans wine-like from the barrel? It feels like the aroma is really three-dimensional!
Hop BroAnd since it’s infused with kumquats from Kamakura, it brings in a gentle bitterness from the peel along with fruitiness. In other words, it’s a saison where citrus and acidity overlap beautifully.
MugiOh, I see! That sounds like it would go well with seafood too. I kind of love that it has a food-pairing side to it!
Hop BroExactly. When you drink it in a calm beer pub like Bakushu Yumeemi, the appeal is in taking your time with each glass.
MugiPerfect for a night in Gion! Just the idea of a glass overlooking Minamiza makes the atmosphere taste good already!
Hop BroSeeing guest beer announcements like this makes me want to go try it right away. This is exactly the kind of beer you want to meet in a glass.
MugiYeah, I’m in a total drinking mood now! Let’s have a glass together of this kumquat saison!
