Beer shop Llama gets two new VERTERE collaboration beers, Vespa and Casimiroa
Beer shop Llama in Mitaka has received two new VERTERE arrivals. A sour beer, "Vespa," in collaboration with Korea's Magpie Brewing, and a fruit-forward NE IPA, "Casimiroa." Both came in cans, so they should be easy to enjoy slowly in the shop as well.
Hop BroTwo new VERTERE arrivals have landed at Beer shop Llama in Mitaka. This time it's a sour and an NE IPA, so it's nice that you can choose depending on your mood.
MugiWhoa! Both sound so good! A sour vs. IPA showdown already sounds delicious just from the names!
Hop BroFirst up is Vespa, a Mango Sour w/Pineapple. It's a collaboration with Korea's Magpie Brewing, and it combines the rich fruitiness of mango and pineapple with a sharp chili kick.
MugiChili as in chili pepper? Why put that in a sour? Sweet and spicy is complete sensory overload!
Hop BroExactly, and that's what makes it interesting. The key is the balance between acidity and heat; it keeps the outline of a sour ale while adding a spicy aftertaste.
MugiI see, so it's not just tropical! And if it comes in a 500ml CAN, I can enjoy it slowly at home too!
Hop BroThe other one, Casimiroa, is a very VERTERE-style NE IPA. Peach, grape, pineapple, and citrus layer together, with a thick mouthfeel from the oats.
MugiWow, that's fruit-name traffic jam! Saying it lets you enjoy layers of hops makes me feel like my brain would turn into a fruit market after drinking it!
Hop BroBut the drinking experience isn't too heavy, and the fruit character comes forward, so it's easy to drink. Rich yet straightforward is really very VERTERE, don't you think?
MugiThis is the kind of lineup where you enjoy the kick of Vespa and then sink into the aroma of Casimiroa! Tasting both is obviously the right move, and now I want to run to the shop!
Hop BroYeah, it's fun just looking at the cans and choosing at Beer shop Llama, and in the end it feels like you decide on tonight's drink. Honestly, now I want to drink it with you too.
MugiI know! I'm in the mood to toast right now, so today is definitely going to be one of those days where I can't decide between Vespa and Casimiroa!

Vespa is built around tropical fruit character accented with spice, and the balance between sweetness and heat is the highlight. While it keeps the sour ale's crisp acidic outline, it also has a sense of body from the puree, making it a beer that will catch the eye of anyone who likes strongly aromatic beers.
Casimiroa is an NE IPA that lets you straightforwardly enjoy VERTERE's hop expression. Peach, grape, pineapple, and citrus overlap, and while the mouthfeel is rich, the fruit character comes to the front. If you like IPA, it would also be interesting to compare it side by side with the sour Vespa.
