Hop BroEflush in Teramachi, Matsue just brought in Primary Barrels' Cherish on tap. This guest beer is a pretty intriguing one.
MugiWait, that name is already adorable! A strawberry sour ale sounds like a sweet dessert beer, right?
Hop BroThat is the fun part. It is not just sweet. They use homegrown strawberries from Primary Barrels, so the fruit character and the acidity both stand out cleanly.
MugiOhhh! But when you say that, do you mean tart and tasty? Like the kind that makes your mouth go zip?
Hop BroExactly, but not in a sharp lemon way. It has a crisp acidic finish that keeps it drinkable, then you get fresh strawberry aroma, juicy fruit, and a soft hint of sweetness.
MugiWhat is that, a flavor parade? And the article said it has a natural wine vibe. Is this beer trying to cosplay as wine now?
Hop BroCosplay is a strong word, but kind of. It means the fruit feels natural and lively, the acidity stays light, and it is easy to pair with food. It should even work as an after-dinner drink.
MugiThat is unfairly versatile. A two-way beer for dinner and dessert? Eflush sounds dangerous in the best way.
Hop BroIt is about six minutes from Matsue Station, and Eflush has up to 16 taps plus a wide range of local Shimane sake. A guest beer like this makes the tap list even more fun.
MugiI can already picture myself staring seriously at the taps and then ordering Cherish anyway. That strawberry-and-tart combo sounds impossible to resist.
