Hop BroAt Half Yard Shiki in Shiki, ReFro Beer's Pineapple Weizen - Tropical Banana has been tapped. It sounds like a limited Weizen, and even the name alone puts you in a tropical mood.
MugiWait, pineapple and banana!? That's full-on tropical. It's like a fruit platter in beer form!
Hop BroAnd it's not just sweet either, because the smoothness of wheat forms the base. Weizens use wheat malt, so the mouthfeel becomes softer.
MugiWhat's Weizen yeast? That banana-like aroma really sounds like actual banana is in it!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: yeast fermentation can create aromas that remind you of banana. This time, ripe pineapple is added too, so it all overlaps like a double harmony of aromas.
MugiOh wow! If the ripe pineapple character really stands out, it sounds like the first sip would brighten your mood instantly!
Hop BroThe post also says it has a juicy fruitiness, and that it pairs well with meat dishes. It's light, but still works as a food beer, which is pretty strong.
MugiIt goes with meat too!? If it works as both a first drink and with a meal, that's almost unfairly versatile!
Hop BroHalf Yard Shiki is a beer pub on the 3rd floor of Hayashi Building near Shiki Station, and its appeal is how easy it is to drop by. They also accept reservations by phone and DM, so it's perfect for a drink after work.
MugiAnd even the tags show how broad their range is, so I'm curious about how deep their beer context really is! At this point, it makes me want to go for the ReFro Beer limited Weizen too!
