Hop BroAt SIBLINGS in Kikuna, Yokohama, two guest beers have been tapped from Nara Brewing Co. in Nara. Their names are STUDY IN ROUGE and SPIRAL, and both are ABV 6.0%.
MugiWhoa, two at once? And those names sound intense... like a mix of research and spirals!
Hop BroSTUDY IN ROUGE is a FRUIT SOUR ALE w/ VANILLA, so it has a gentle vanilla note floating over its acidity. Sour ales are all about that crisp, tart brightness.
MugiSours are those tart-and-tasty beers, right? But if you add vanilla too, my brain starts wondering whether this is dessert or beer!
Hop BroExactly, and that's the interesting part. By not leaning only into the acidity and adding the roundness of vanilla, the edges soften and it becomes easier to drink. It's less about sweetness and more about creating depth through aroma.
MugiOhhh! So what is SPIRAL, then? Is it a spinning beer?
Hop BroSPIRAL is an AMERICAN-BELGO-STYLE ALE. It layers the contour of American hops with the spicy, fruity character of Belgian yeast.
MugiI see, so it's like the flashiness of hops plus a touch of Belgian unpredictability! This conversation suddenly got very advanced!
Hop BroAnd since SIBLINGS is in Ikenohata Shopping Street in Kikuna, it's great that you can have a new experience right on the street corner. Being able to compare two beers like this as part of everyday life is a real luxury.
MugiThis is definitely a must-compare lineup! First ROUGE for the tart vanilla vibe, then SPIRAL to get swept around in circles!
Hop BroIf you start with ROUGE and follow with SPIRAL, I'd say that's the right choice for tonight. Talking about it has already left my throat completely dry.
MugiI know, I want a drink already! Put these two side by side at SIBLINGS and it's absolutely the kind of thing you'd end up laughing through while comparing them!
