Spring Limited "Ouka Ranman" Tapped at Kobe Motomachi On Tap, with Eight Taps on Offer
The beer pub "Beer Space On Tap" in Motomachi, Kobe, updated its tap list on the night of March 19. It newly tapped Tamba-ji Brewery's seasonal "Ouka Ranman (Sakura Pale Ale)" and lined up a total of eight beers, including Edelpils. It was a lineup suited to relaxed drinking on the eve of a holiday.
Hop BroToday’s topic is that Spring Limited new tap just arrived at Beer Space On Tap in Kobe Motomachi.
MugiWhoa! That’s hot for the eve of a holiday! So, which beer is the star?
Hop BroThe one to watch is Tamba-ji Brewery’s Ouka Ranman, aka Sakura Pale Ale. It’s ABV 5%, and the cherry blossom aroma really gives it a spring feel.
MugiWhat is that? "ABV 5%" and "two-row barley" sound like suddenly being in science class!
Hop BroABV is alcohol by volume, and two-row barley is a type of malted barley that tends to be cleaner and lighter. In other words, it’s designed to be gentle and easy to drink.
MugiOhhh! And being good with food is great. I also want to hear about the other pick, what Edelpils is all about!
Hop BroEdelpils is also ABV 5%, and the key is its aroma from Saz-grown fine aroma hops and its crisp bitterness.
MugiI keep hearing "crisp," but in my head it’s still just a knife-like word!
Hop BroIt means the finish disappears cleanly without lingering. And today’s lineup has eight beers total, from Hassaku Saison to UNDERWATER 26, so it’s a tasting-friendly selection.
MugiEight beers is a tough choice! I want to start with Edelpils, then move to Ouka Ranman for a spring two-stage rocket!
Hop BroThat’s perfect. Going back to Edelpils for the first and the finish is an option too. Tonight makes me want to tour the taps in Motomachi.
MugiIt’s decided! Slow and easy at the counter, and first I’m going for that spring-fragrant first glass!
"Beer Space On Tap," located on the first basement floor of Kobe Plaza Hotel in Motomachi-dori, Chuo Ward, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, announced the beers being served that day in a March 19 post.
The highlight of the day was the tapping of Tamba-ji Brewery's "Ouka Ranman (Sakura Pale Ale)". The post介绍ed its ABV of 5%, its use of two-row barley from Tamba-Sasayama City and Cascade hops, as well as aroma from cherry blossoms. It was described as having a gentle, spring-like aroma, a light drinking profile, and a mild bitterness. It was also noted as easy to pair with food, positioning it as a glass to enjoy the season.
Another beer given a detailed introduction was Edelpils (ABV 5%). Its key points are its bright aroma from Saz-grown fine aroma hops, crisp bitterness, golden appearance, and clean finish. The suggestion that it suits both the first glass and the last glass is classic beer-pub appeal.
The day's "Today's on Tap" lineup consisted of these eight beers:
- Edelpils
- Tamba-ji Brewery / Ouka Ranman
- SOUTH HORIZON BREWING / All Aboard
- HIROSHIMA NOH BREWERY / Hassaku Saison
- Tsukarenaosu / AMERICAN PALE ALE
- Nara Brewing / UNDERWATER 26
- Egret Brewery / On tap
- RIO BREWING / SOCIAL GRAVITY
Centered on domestic craft, the lineup ranged across pale ale, saison, and pilsner, making it well suited to tasting comparisons. The shop's atmosphere, which makes it easy to drink alone at the counter, and the tap selection that encourages a leisurely progression from glass to glass seemed to match well for the evening.
