Hop BroThat 11th-anniversary collaboration in Osaka's Kyobashi is heating up. At Craft Beer Spot Hathor, they tapped “Kyobashi Helles ~Suspended Sentence~,” brewed with T.Y. Harbor.
MugiWhoa, even the title is powerful! "Kyobashi Helles ~Suspended Sentence~" sounds like the start of a story I want to keep reading!
Hop BroWhat's interesting is that it's a Helles, but also a "fake Helles." They used Nugget, Saaz, and Hallertau Blanc hops to make it light and easy to drink.
MugiSo it's fake, meaning it's not really Helles but kind of Helles? "Light and easy to drink" is scrambling my brain!
Hop BroBasically, it's aiming for that clean lager-like crispness while playing with hop aroma in a more modern way. Since Hathor has 16 taps, having a beer like this helps set the tone.
MugiOh, I see! So it's perfect for the first beer of the day. And if they have house-smoked dishes too, that sounds like pure happiness while drinking!
Hop BroExactly. And when Chimay Blue comes in, the whole atmosphere changes. It has caramel-like toasted notes, citrusy fruitiness, and a solid 9% body that really stands out.
Mugi9%!? That's basically romance in beer form! A "solid body" sounds like it would make your shoulders tense up too!
Hop BroWhat makes it even better is the variety on tap today. There's Tomodachi Saison, Peanut Butter Milk Stout, and Ocean Thunder WC IPA, so you can choose from light to rich styles.
MugiThat's a tasting paradise! Being able to choose by mood is so much fun!
Hop BroCentering the lineup around the anniversary beer, it's a smart setup that lets you start lightly in Kyobashi or dive in deeper if you want. Just reading about it makes me want a drink right now.
MugiTotally! My head is full of Kyobashi Helles now, so I just want to toast already!
