BiaMa Kitasenju used Instagram to share a tap list alongside a sunny-day post. True to its identity as a beer pub in the Senju area of Adachi Ward, it lined up four beers with distinct personalities, from familiar staples best enjoyed by the glass to more individualistic options.

The beers highlighted in the post were Namachan's IPA, Mikkeller's Hop Opera, Collective Arts' Cherry Limeade Sour, and Shimoda's Nova. The lineup clearly spans a wide range of drinking styles, from an IPA, to an aroma-forward beer in classic Mikkeller fashion, to a fruit-based sour, and a sour brewed with passionfruit and peach.

Namachan's IPA is presented as a beer that emphasizes the citrus character from Mosaic, Citra, and Simcoe, with a well-balanced mix of moderate sweetness and bitterness. Hop Opera is introduced as a substantial beer with a toasty rye sweetness and notes of berry and orange. Cherry Limeade Sour has a sharp, vivid tart opening and a crisp finish, while Nova is an appealing sour with juicy fruitiness and a cohesive tartness.

BiaMa Kitasenju, as a beer pub where craft beer can be chosen casually in the Kitasenju and Senju area, is strong in that it makes it easy to compare a wide range of styles at once. Depending on your mood, the lineup lets you choose whether to enjoy hop character with an IPA or keep things light with a sour.
