Hop BroBig news today: Mitaka blueberry drop. OGA BREWING COMPANY has started pouring its new weizen, M.C.B.B.
MugiWhat! That name sounds coded! What does M.C.B.B even stand for, and blueberry in a weizen sounds wild!
Hop BroThe M.C series is basically Mitaka in a glass. They use local seasonal ingredients, and this one is loaded with Mitaka-grown blueberries.
MugiOhh, so it's local fruit mode. But weizen is the soft wheat-beer style, right?
Hop BroExactly, it's built for a soft and fluffy mouthfeel, then layered with blueberry sweetness and a gentle tart edge so it stays easy to drink.
MugiHold on, gentle tart edge sounds suspicious. Am I going to make a full lemon-face after one sip?
Hop BroNope, the trick is fruity but still light. And the weizen yeast adds esters... which is usually where your eyes glaze over.
MugiThey glazed instantly! Who is ester? A new bartender? A secret idol?
Hop BroNot a person, just banana-like aroma notes from fermentation. That soft aroma helps round out the fruit character.
MugiOkay, wow, I want it on tap right now. If I spot this at OGA's taproom or cafe, I'm ordering first and asking questions second.
Hop BroAnd since it's pouring right now, this is exactly the kind of seasonal beer you chase before it's gone. It sounds like Mitaka in real time.
MugiThen it's settled, reason to go secured. Sweet, tart, and fluffy all at once? My throat is ready already.
