MugiWow! Moegi is such a cute name! But is a wheat ale a type of beer? Mugi is getting confused, even though it's a wheat ale!
Hop BroExactly, it's the beer style. What's interesting is that the wheat malt from Shimokawa Town is uniquely malted at Matsuke Farm in Higashikawa Town, so the character of the ingredients really comes through.
MugiHuh! From Shimokawa Town somehow sounds delicious even as a place name! So what does it smell like? I think I read something about fruity notes!
Hop BroGood catch. It has an aroma reminiscent of clove and banana, along with a soft, gentle wheat character underneath. It stays light without losing its aromatic presence.
MugiWhat! Banana aroma in beer sounds almost dessert-like! But if it's not too bitter, maybe even I could drink it easily.
Hop BroExactly. With its clean, refreshing finish, it's the kind of beer you want on a day when you care more about aroma and lightness than a big burst of bitterness. The post also introduced it as a good choice for people who like a lighter drinking profile.
MugiThat helps a lot! With that light drinking profile, it seems perfect as a first beer. Susukino Ale STAND really is a reliable place to look for Hokkaido craft!
Hop BroIt's on B1 of COCONO SUSUKINO, so it's easy to drop by, and being able to track new arrivals from local breweries is one of its strengths. Being able to decide on today's drink while you're out shopping is the best.
MugiI can't wait, today's drink is definitely Moegi! If I drink this gentle northern wheat beer in Susukino, I'll feel like a real craft beer expert in no time!
