Hop BroA new batch of Kinki Pale Ale has come out from Noboribetsu Local Beer Oni Densetsu in Noboribetsu. This time it's the "Nectaron Single Ver.", and I'm really curious about how the hops are presented.
MugiWhoa! Nectaron Single Ver. sounds strong just from the name! It sounds like a special move, and I'm the one who might get knocked out before drinking it!
Hop BroThe contents are actually pretty gentle, with a design of ABV 5.5% and IBU 35. In other words, it keeps the alcohol presence from being too heavy and the bitterness from becoming too sharp, so it's a well-balanced beer.
MugiWhat even is IBU! I know it's supposed to be a bitterness indicator, but having a number makes it feel like a test and I get tense!
Hop BroPut simply, it's an index of bitterness strength. This time they've softened it compared with the previous batch, so you can enjoy the hop character while still drinking it easily.
MugiI see, that's why it's drinking-friendly! So it's the kind you can casually reach for another one without having to make a serious face!
Hop BroThe aroma direction is interesting too, with a sweet tropical scent layered with fruitiness reminiscent of apricot and peach. There's also a slightly grassy nuance, so it has depth.
MugiWait, peach!? Just hearing apricot and peach makes it feel like a fruit parfait, even though it's beer!
Hop BroAnd as the name suggests, the key point is that it shows off Nectaron on its own. While it has a vibe close to Mosaic or Galaxy, this time they're bringing that character clearly to the front.
MugiOni Densetsu is so cool for gradually updating its expression! Even though it's a standard beer, it always shows us a new face every time. So unfair!
Hop BroOn top of that, the order guidance says they can handle orders through SNS and email too, and shipping is planned to start on May 16 or 17. At this point, all we can do is get ready and wait to drink it.
