At NAMACHA-n Stand Kita-Ikebukuro (Ikebukurohoncho, Tokyo), NAMACHA-n Brewing's "Namachan's Scottish Ale" has been tapped. Despite its low 3.0% ABV, it is a glass that balances malty depth with a light, easy-drinking feel.
Hop BroA pretty interesting beer has been tapped at the brewpub NAMACHA-n Stand Kita-Ikebukuro in Ikebukurohoncho. This time's star is "Namachan's Scottish Ale."
MugiWhoa, Scottish Ale already sounds kind of serious! But ABV 3.0% means it's probably really easy to drink, right?
Hop BroExactly. The key point is that even though it's low in alcohol, it still has a real malt richness. Light, but not thin, is the perfect way to put it.
MugiWait, what do you mean by malt richness? Like thick bread or something?
Hop BroGood question. Here, it means the kind of malty aroma you get from toasty, biscuit-like flavors. It's that gentle sweetness that comes across like baked bread.
MugiOhhh! And even though it's dark, it doesn't feel heavy, which is kind of surprising! A light, easy-drinking mouthfeel sounds like something you could keep sipping forever.
Hop BroThat's what makes this beer work so well. In the background, there's also a subtle smokiness. It has a calm aroma that brings peat to mind, and it doesn't try too hard to stand out.
MugiPeat just showed up as an advanced beer word! But when you say "like an iced Americano", I kind of get the image.
Hop BroExactly. It's crisp in the bitterness and aroma, but the finish disappears cleanly. And because it pairs well with food, it's perfect for a day when you want to drink slowly.
MugiAnd being able to drink it right there in Kita-Ikebukuro is amazing! It's way too good for an after-work drink or a daytime drink on a day off!
Hop BroThe weekday hours start at 16:00, so it's easy to use too. This really feels perfect for a day when you want to enjoy a glass slowly. Now I kind of want to start tilting one back myself.
MugiMe too! Today I'm in the mood to be wrapped in malt's gentle sweetness, so let's go drink in Kita-Ikebukuro!
