MugiWait, Little Bear and Summer Bear? They’re already adorable just from the names, but what kind of beers are they?
Hop BroFirst up is "Little Bear’s Weizen," a 5% ABV beer with the soft, wheat-based character you’d expect from a Weizen, plus an American hop accent.
MugiWeizens are the ones with that banana-like aroma, right? Adding American hops to that is making my head spin!
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part: it keeps the banana aroma and lightness while the hop bitterness and aroma sharpen the outline.
MugiI see! So it’s fluffy but still crisp. I can see why it would become the shop owner’s top pick!
Hop BroThe other one, "Summer Bear Lager," is an India Session Lager at 4% ABV. The key point is that it uses plenty of Southern Hemisphere hops.
MugiWhat even is an India Session Lager? But just hearing Southern Hemisphere hops makes it sound refreshing!
Hop BroIn short, it’s a lager with plenty of aroma that still isn’t too heavy, so it’s bright and easy to drink. Hops like Southern Cross really shine in it.
MugiIf you find these two at Koguma Saketen Sendai Station East Exit Main Store, there’s no way you can walk away! I’m already itching to go drink these two Chichibu Beer labels right now!
Two Chichibu Beer labels arrive at the Sendai Station East Exit main store
From "Nippon no Craft Beer Koguma Saketen Sendai Station East Exit Main Store," news of new Chichibu Beer arrivals has arrived. The two labels introduced this time are "Little Bear’s Weizen" and "Summer Bear Lager". Both were announced because they have finally come back in stock after a long time.
Little Bear’s Weizen
"Little Bear’s Weizen" is a beer that adds an American hop accent to the soft, wheat-derived drinking texture typical of a Weizen. ABV is 5%. The post says it still has the distinctive banana aroma characteristic of a Weizen, while remaining clean and easy to drink, and introduces it as a label the shop owner personally calls his "No. 1 Weizen."
Summer Bear Lager
The other beer is "Summer Bear Lager." The style is India Session Lager, and ABV is 4%. It uses plenty of Southern Hemisphere hops such as Southern Cross, creating a design that keeps the alcohol content low while delivering a bright hop aroma and a clear, crisp taste. It seems well suited for people who value a balance of aroma and drinkability.
