MugiWhoa, that sounds stylish! A French-sounding name already has me curious. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt’s a lager with 5.0% ABV. The idea is easy-drinking, but still nicely aromatic.
MugiOhh! But when I hear 20 IBU, I suddenly feel like I’m being graded on a test!
Hop BroIBU is a bitterness scale, and here it means the bitterness is mild. No need for defensive maneuvers.
MugiThat helps! And made with Aramis hops sounds like some kind of ultimate special move!
Hop BroIt’s a French hop that brings sweet floral aromas. Then you get orangey fruitiness and the clean snap of lager yeast.
MugiWhat is that combo! Bright and fragrant, but the finish stays dry? That’s a summer overachiever.
Hop BroAnd ‘Ça va’ means ‘How are you?’, so the name is meant as a reunion toast. That’s the charming part.
MugiSo it’s not just flavor, it has a story too. That little bit of meaning makes me want it even more!
Hop BroI want to soak in Kichi Brewing’s local vibe too, and this is my first pour without question. I want a glass right now.
