Hop BroAt NAMACHA'n Stand in Kitaikebukuro, Uma no Gohobi is being tapped. It's a collaboration with JRA Baji Koen, and even from the article alone it feels like the beer is already right up to your nose.
MugiWait! Isn't the name Uma no Gohobi way too cute? When I hear "a horse's reward," it's kind of funny that beer comes before carrots!
Hop BroIt's a Fruit IPA, and the ABV is 6.5%. It uses apples and carrots, and it's nice that the sweetness and color are clearly calculated.
MugiFruit IPA means an IPA with fruit in it? But now it's got carrots too, so I can't even tell where the line between a salad and beer is anymore!
Hop BroExactly. Roughly speaking, it's an IPA with an added fruity aroma. This one layers in apple sweetness while also giving it a soft color from the carrots, which is the key point.
MugiOhh! And the description mentions West Coast IPA bitterness too. Fruity, then it snaps shut at the end - I think I really like that!
Hop BroThat's right. Because it has a crisp bitterness, it doesn't just end up sweet. When the hop profile stands out, the apple notes also stay clear instead of getting muddied.
MugiAnd the venue is the 48th Horse Show, so it really has event vibes! You get to see horses and drink beer too. Isn't that basically a guaranteed win for the weekend?
Hop BroThey'll have both draft and canned versions at the venue, so there's the fun of drinking there and taking some home too. Since it's being held from May 3 to 5, the timing is pretty ideal.
MugiNAMACHA'n Stand Kitaikebukuro is a brewpub where you can enjoy beer fresh from the tank, right? If they even have smoked snacks, I'll be hungry before I even start drinking!
Hop BroExactly. Whether you're following it in Kitaikebukuro or going to the venue, this is the kind of article that makes you feel like having a drink today. Uma no Gohobi really does seem like a reward in name and in practice.
