Hop BroAt Beer shop Llama in Mitaka, Headginger has been newly tapped. It's a Mountain River beer, and today it's the kind where you can really talk about the aroma.
MugiWait, a ginger beer? That sounds kind of spicy, but is it actually good as a beer?!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. It's a Spice Ale with an ABV of 4.5%, made with organically grown ginger and wheat, and they even add fresh ginger that's thinly sliced.
MugiWhoa, but what's sour malt? That suddenly sounds like a science experiment!
Hop BroPut simply, it's an ingredient that adds a slight acidity and ties the flavor together. So the light acidity and the ginger and wheat notes don't clash, and it finishes in a way that's easy to drink.
MugiNo way, that's great! And Llama's tap list is impressive too, right? Having lots of choices is already fun!
Hop BroExactly. TAROS 'SUCKER PUNCH #3,' Nara Brewing 'UNDERWATER :LUMINOUS,' and Shiga Kogen Beer 'SNOW MONKEY IPA' are all on tap, so the breadth of flavors is one of its strengths.
MugiWow, having both fruit lager and IPA is unfair! But I think I'd want to start with something refreshing like Buntan LAGER or Headginger!
Hop BroThat's a good choice. Headginger has a springlike freshness to it, so it's easy to use as both a first beer and a beer to pair with food.
MugiThen I guess there's no choice but to have a drink in Mitaka today! If there's even the fun of tasting side by side, I'm already totally in the mood to go!
