At the beer pub "Half Yard Shiki" in Honcho, Shiki City, Sankt Gallen's fruit beer "Shonan Gold" has been tapped. This limited keg uses a rare orange and is characterized by its bright aroma and bitterness from the peel. It's one to enjoy while it's on tap.
Hop BroIt was tapped at the beer pub in Honcho, Shiki City, Half Yard Shiki. Just hearing that Sankt Gallen's "Shonan Gold" is on tap gets me excited from the very first glass.
MugiWow! That name alone sounds delicious! Shonan Gold goes into beer?
Hop BroThat's right, it's a fruit beer made with rare oranges. They don't just use the juice; they simmer the wort with the peel and pulp too, so the aroma comes through really vividly.
MugiI see! But when I hear peel, it sounds like it might be a little bitter? What kind of thing is this bitterness that follows?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. It's not just sweet; the bitterness from the peel gives it a crisp finish at the end. After the bright citrus aroma, it still leaves a proper beer-like outline.
MugiI get it, so it's not just juice! And if it doesn't lean too much toward sweetness, it seems like it would pair well with food too!
Hop BroExactly. Half Yard Shiki is a beer pub that carries a wide range of beers from around the world, so it's a place made for drinking slowly while snacking.
MugiWait, and the post says it's limited for the season too!? That's the kind of thing that disappears if you relax!
Hop BroExactly. Guest kegs like this have the potential to sell out immediately, you know. While it's still on tap, it's the kind of beer where you want to check everything from the aroma on the first sip to the lingering finish.
MugiAll right, today we're going to check out that citrus aroma! This is definitely one even Hop and I would want to drink together!
Newly Tapped Guest Beer
