The tap lineup at the beer pub "Entrance to Beer NOVICE" in Kawagoe, Saitama Prefecture, has been updated today. Grow Brew House's American IPA "BIG BRIDGE IPA" and NOMENDO Brew Stand's TEA SOUR ALE "Fukuso~" have newly joined the lineup, bringing the total to five beers to enjoy.
Hop BroThe taps at the Kawagoe beer pub Entrance to Beer NOVICE have been updated. Grow Brew House's BIG BRIDGE IPA and NOMENDO Brew Stand's Fukuso~ have been added, so today's lineup is especially interesting.
MugiWhat! A total of five taps? So there are that many choices? And an IPA and a TEA SOUR ALE too - just from the names alone, I can't even keep up with imagining the flavors!
Hop BroBIG BRIDGE IPA is an American IPA with firm bitterness and a rich body. It's 7.0% ABV, and it's the kind of beer where the citrusy aroma from the lavish use of hops comes through gently.
MugiLavishly used hops means hop overload? Does that mean it's not just bitter, but also one of those beers with a juicy, great aroma?
Hop BroExactly, the aroma is a star too, not just the bitterness. The citrusy aroma comes first, then the bitterness follows. It has a substantial mouthfeel, but the skill is that it doesn't just feel heavy.
MugiI see! Then Fukuso~ must be the opposite. The strawberry and tea aroma sounds like a stylish dessert!
Hop BroIt's exactly the contrast you'd expect, and this one is a TEA SOUR ALE. With a light finish, the fruitiness and the elegant tea aroma blend together softly. Since it's 5.0% ABV, it goes down very smoothly.
MugiWait, a sour beer with tea!? Fruit and tea aroma? I don't even know what kind of face I'm supposed to make while drinking that, but I'm definitely curious!
Hop BroThat's what makes it fun. Because it's the opposite of a bitter IPA, comparing them really makes each character stand out. Tonight you can go back and forth between hop intensity and the elegance of strawberry tea.
MugiAnd it's only a 3-minute walk from Kawagoe Station, right? Something this convenient for stopping by after work? That's the kind of trap that gets you in for just one drink and then, before you know it, you're having two!
Hop BroI completely get that flow. As tonight's drink candidate, it's a strong lineup, and going with a solid IPA first, then closing with the refreshing Fukuso~ would be perfect. So, which one do we start with?
