Hop BroI’ve got a good one from Bunkyo today: Hongo Kikuzakacho Kamosu just released a new batch of its Irish Red Ale, “Akamon 1827.”
MugiAkamon 1827 sounds so cool! And “new batch” means it’s freshly brewed, right?
Hop BroExactly. It’s an Irish Red Ale with a deep amber look, but the body is light and easy to drink.
MugiWait, really? With that deep amber look, I was expecting something heavy, like a strict professor in beer form!
Hop BroThat’s where the caramel malt character comes in. You get sweet aroma, a light toast note, and a gentle caramel-like roastiness.
MugiHold on, caramel malt? What is that, malt wearing an apron and selling candy?
Hop BroNot quite. It’s kilned specialty malt. Heating the grain brings out color and sweet aroma, then adds a soft layer of richness.
MugiOhhh! So it’s toasty without getting too heavy. I also love that it sounds like a drop-in kind of place.
Hop BroRight. They brew and pour in Hongo-Sanchome, so it really feels like a neighborhood brewery you can stop by without ceremony.
MugiI’m into that. The local feel is great, and just hearing a pint in Hongo already makes me want to go.
Hop BroSame here. I want to verify that light, smooth finish in person, purely in the name of research.
MugiThat “research” is definitely ending in a refill! I’m officially at I need this now level, so let’s go drink Akamon 1827.
