Hop BroBATHE YOTSUME BREWERY in Narihira, Sumida Ward, has released a super spring-like Yomogi Saison.
MugiWait, yomogi? The spring ingredient you see in kusa mochi and stuff!? They made that into beer!
Hop BroYep. And this time it's a wheat saison, so the softness of wheat is layered with the lightness that makes saison what it is.
MugiWhat's a saison!? It sounds like some fancy spell out of nowhere... Is saison yeast really that important?
Hop BroIt really is important. Saison yeast tends to bring out fruity, crisp character, and since this one uses BE-134, it's there to lift the yomogi aroma gently.
MugiWhoa! And with ABV 5% and IBU 12, it sounds like it's going to be super easy to drink!
Hop BroExactly. Plus, with Pilsner malt and Hallertau Mittelfrüh hops, you can see it's tuned toward a gentle design rather than a big bitter punch.
MugiWow, if people say it tastes like yomogi mochi, that's basically a win, right? If it has a tea-like aroma too, it sounds like a great match!
Hop BroThat's right. It pairs well with Japanese desserts and also goes nicely with meals, so it's a very versatile beer for a spring table.
MugiBATHE YOTSUME BREWERY's beer that reflects spring is already making me want to drink it just from imagining it!
Hop BroThen tonight's choice is settled. Let's welcome the start of spring properly with a gently aromatic saison in hand.
MugiYeah, I definitely want to drink it now! If I spot Yomogi Saison, I'm checking it out immediately!
