Hop BroHebisasori Brewing in Naha, Okinawa has brought out New Trance, New Entrance. It's an American Wheat at 5.0% ABV, so it sounds like it'll go down easy.
MugiWhoa, even the name sounds musical! Does the number 017 mean it's part of a series?
Hop BroExactly. The malt bill is Wheat and Pilsner, and the hops are Rakau, Motueka, Columbus, and Simcoe. In particular, the ripe fruit and citrus notes sound like they'll be the star of the aroma.
MugiWhoa, the hop names suddenly sound like a spell! What does Rakau and Motueka actually taste like when you drink it?
Hop BroRakau tends to bring tropical fruit character, and Motueka often gives a lime-like citrus note. Then Columbus and Simcoe add definition, so it stays crisp instead of turning hazy.
MugiI see, so it's airy but still comes together nicely. And they even used maltodextrin - that's a pretty technical ingredient, isn't it?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. Maltodextrin is used to add body to the beer. In other words, it creates a smooth mouthfeel, giving it a light feel without becoming thin.
MugiWow! If it has the softness of wheat, even beginners could drink it easily. Sounds like one for the afternoon.
Hop BroExactly - instead of hitting you over the head with intensity, it keeps things clear and clean, which leaves a good impression. It feels like the ideal first pour and goes down very smoothly.
MugiAnd the name comes from a line in an 80s British band song? That's way too romantic! If I hear it's a music beer you can drink in Naha, I'll definitely want to go to the taproom!
Hebisasori Brewing unveiled its new beer "New Trance, New Entrance" on Instagram. The post also labels it as "017," and lists the style as American Wheat with an alcohol content of 5.0%. True to the brewery's character of brewing in Naha, Okinawa, it gives the impression of being thoughtfully built around drinkability rather than trying too hard to be flashy.
The recipe uses Wheat and Pilsner malts, and Rakau, Motueka, Columbus, and Simcoe hops. The post explains that the ripe fruit, citrus, and tropical nuances brought by Rakau and Motueka are given shape and depth by Columbus and Simcoe. It also says maltodextrin was used to give the beer a smooth mouthfeel.
In terms of flavor imagery, it feels like a design that pours the shimmering melody of a guitar and an almost floating atmosphere into a single glass. The finished beer is relatively clear, retaining the softness that comes from wheat while being wrapped up in a light, clean impression. It seems well suited to an afternoon pint or as the first beer at the end of the day.
The origin of the name is also distinctive, taken from a line in a song by a British band from the 1980s. Layering a musical reference into a beer name shows the distinctive character of Hebisasori Brewing's approach to making beer. If this new release appears on tap at the Naha taproom, it's the kind of beer you would want to take your time with, from the way the aroma opens up to the lingering finish.
