Hop BroAt Eflash in Teramachi, Matsue, Barbaric WORKS' Lemonaise has just arrived, and that's something I want to talk about!
MugiWhoa! Even the name sounds refreshing! Does that mean it tastes like lemonade?
Hop BroThat's the best part: it's a fruit sour ale made with lemons and summer oranges harvested by hand, and the aroma really comes through in a serious way.
MugiWhat is that! I get the sour ale part, but what exactly is the assist dry hop mentioned in the article?!
Hop BroIt's a method of adding hops after fermentation to layer in aroma, and in this case it's like a supporting role that lifts the aroma without getting in the way of the citrus in the spotlight.
MugiHuh! But when I saw IBU 67, I thought it would be one of those numbers that feel brutally bitter and make your face scrunch up!
Hop BroThere is bitterness from Simcoe and Sabro, but with 5.5% ABV and the acidity and sweetness layered on top, it still lands in a balance of lemon and summer orange.
MugiSo it would appeal not just to sour fans, but also to fruit beer drinkers! In other words, it's a friendly first-time beer!
Hop BroExactly. If you're looking in Matsue for a guest beer with a clear citrus profile, Eflash's new lineup is a must-try. I want to pair it with food.
MugiIt's settled! Tonight, let Hop-nii and me go raise a toast with Lemonaise. Just thinking about it makes my throat want it!
