Hop BroCitraba in Koenji just tapped three guest beers from NOVORU, Fujizakura Heights Beer, and COEDO all at once.
MugiWhat! Three totally different directions in one pub? That sounds like a built-in tasting flight.
Hop BroExactly, and NOVORU Musubu brings Belgian Blonde brightness with crisp malt and a really elegant aromatic lift.
MugiHold on, what is ester from Napoleon yeast supposed to mean? That sounds like wizard beer language.
Hop BroBasically it means fruity aroma compounds made by the yeast, and with fresh-hop character layered in, Musubu stays light and refreshing.
MugiNo way, so it's the sniff first, gulp fast kind of beer? That feels dangerously easy to love.
Hop BroThen Fujizakura's Sakura Bock goes big with about double the malt, plus long aging for a full-bodied, slow-sipping profile.
MugiWhoa, that's giving final boss energy. Sweetness, bitterness, and aroma all stacked up in one glass?
Hop BroAnd COEDO Marihana is a food-friendly Session IPA, with clear hop aroma but an easy-drinking finish that should work great with Citraba's chicken.
MugiSo Musubu for aroma, Sakura Bock for body, and Marihana for easy sipping makes the perfect compare-and-drink set. Check Instagram, because now I want to go tonight.
