MugiWhoa, just the name Oni Densetsu sounds powerful! What kind of flavor is the Kinki Pale Ale?
Hop BroIt has this gentle citrus and tropical fruit character, but it’s a well-balanced pale ale overall. It’s not just flashy hop character; it’s a beer with real drinkability.
MugiWhen you say well-balanced, do you mean it’s like the honor student of the beer world? Then maybe I could drink it easily too!
Hop BroExactly. The other one, "Nerutora-san," is a DDH West Coast IPA, with a clear, crisp drink and citrus aroma plus a pleasant bitterness. DDH means a brewing method that uses plenty of dry hopping to bring the aroma forward.
MugiDry hopping? What is that, some kind of magic that increases aroma?
Hop BroPretty much. Rather than adding hops before or after heating, you add them during the latter stage of fermentation or after it’s finished, so the aroma stands out more than the bitterness. That’s why Nerutora-san really appeals to people who prioritize hop aroma.
MugiWow. And the lineup is amazing too. From pilsner to stout? You can travel the world in one place!
Hop BroExactly. They’ve got CRAK’s "Pizzapils," Isekadoya Beer’s "Ultra Heaven That Melts Your Brain" and "Isekado West Coast Pilsner," Faction’s "Commando 450 IPA," and FABBRICA BIRRA PERUGIA’s "Sidro di Mele" too, so it’s a cross-border draft journey.
MugiWait, they even have cider!? If I can go for sweet and bitter alike, then my indecisiveness is actually a strength.
Hop BroThat works just fine. You can finish with NEKO BEER’s "Patisserie Nyankoro ~Strawberry Ganache Cake Stout~," and the right move is to fully enjoy the fun of following rotating drafts in Kintetsu Yokkaichi.
MugiI’m basically turning into beer already! Tonight, let’s hold the which beer should we start with meeting at HOP CROWD!
