MugiWhat? Spiced ale? That's suddenly like a spell! Can beer even be pink?
Hop BroBasically, it's an ale base with spices that bring out the aroma, so it's an easy-drinking type. The pink is a visual flourish to put you in a spring mood; the taste is definitely still beer.

Hop BroExactly. From March to April, it keeps going with Nagano Parceiro-related events and even "Sakura and Craft Beer" in Joetsu. Even on event days, Marika's shop stays open as usual. Solid supply lines, as expected.
