Four VERTERE beers arrive at Kobe's Triangle, with 350ml cans debuting for the first time
At the beer pub Craft Beer Shop Triangle in Hyogo Ward, Kobe City, four new VERTERE releases from Tokyo were announced. This time, the brewery's 350ml cans arrived at the shop for the first time. From dark lager to imperial stout, it's a lineup that lets you sample a wide range of distinct styles all at once.
Hop BroFour beers just arrived at Triangle in Kobe. Tokyo's VERTERE brought in Salix, Nemophila, Tilia, and Clusia all at once.
MugiWait, all four at once!? The names already sound so stylish, I feel like I'd get tipsy just reading the menu!
Hop BroAnd this time, 350ml cans are here for the first time. For anyone who wants to try VERTERE a little at a time, that's a really nice size.
MugiOhh! Then I think I'd start with Salix, the dark lager. I usually picture lager as light, but is this one dark?
Hop BroExactly. Salix has toasty aromas and a chocolate note, but the drink is clean and dry. It looks heavy, but the crisp finish is what makes it so nice.
MugiWait, what even is a West Coast Pilsner!? It's a pilsner but with grapefruit and stuff? That's a lot of information!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. Nemophila is all about refreshing bitterness and aroma. Grapefruit, muscat, and floral notes come through, and it still has plenty of body.
MugiWow, then Tilia sounds even more grown-up! It's like a 10% quadruple performance or something. The name alone sounds strong.
Hop BroTilia is a Belgian quad, and it's the kind that opens up with clove and aged depth. As the temperature rises, caramel and raisin-like notes come out too, so the right move is to sip it slowly.
MugiClusia with banana and maple sounds amazing too! If it's like dessert but also has roast character, that's basically cheating.
Hop BroExactly. I'd want to finish with Clusia and enjoy the sweetness and body to the very end. If you did a four-beer tasting at Triangle, you probably wouldn't want to go home tonight.
MugiYeah, that's a dangerous one! If the tasting is the main event, I want this to be the kind of night where we chase VERTERE all over Kobe!
