MugiWait, even though it's bitter, it's that easygoing? 3.5% lightness sounds like something you could drink before a nap!
Hop BroThe style is Ordinary Bitter/Mild Ale, and the IBU is 18. In other words, it's designed so you can enjoy the balance between malt and hops without pushing the bitterness too hard.
MugiI hear IBU a lot, but does a smaller number mean it's "not very bitter"? A bitterness index sounds like a science experiment!
Hop BroExactly. And it uses Sonnet hops, which bring floral, herbal, and a hint of citrus character. The nice thing is that it doesn't come in swinging with a big flashy punch.
MugiI see! So it has this soft aroma. If there's a subtle citrus note, it won't feel heavy, and I could drink it for a long time!
Hop BroIt has a slightly dark look and a mild mouthfeel. The result of Minoh Beer searching for "our best bitter" is something that lands on a deep, gentle ale that quietly lingers.
MugiSo it's not the kind that hits hard, but the kind that's delicious in a slow, steady way. The fact that it's served in a tumbler makes it feel like they're saying, "Take your time and enjoy it."
Hop BroAnd it's being offered on multiple dates: March 29, March 31, April 2, April 9, April 11, April 12, and April 14. It's definitely one you want to line up your timing for and savor carefully in Fushozan-cho.
MugiWow, having the schedule pinned down is powerful! This is definitely one I'd want to settle in and have a pint for. Now I really want to learn what makes a bitter so good!
News has arrived of a new tap from Minoh Beer at the beer pub "Nomimono-ya" in Fushozan-cho, Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture. The beer making its debut this time is Nice Bitter. The style is Ordinary Bitter/Mild Ale, the alcohol content is 3.5%, and the IBU is 18.
In Minoh Beer's post, the beer is introduced as a glass that reexamines the design of malt, hops, and yeast while exploring the wide range of what a bitter can be, in search of "our best bitter." Rather than emphasizing flashiness, its flavor lands on what feels like a deep, gentle ale that quietly stays with you. It uses Sonnet hops, which are expected to contribute floral, herbal, and subtle citrus notes.
It has a slightly dark appearance and a mild mouthfeel. Drinkable, yet with neither the malt nor the hops taking over too much, its appeal lies in its excellent balance. This release was also designed with the image of drinking at a pub in mind, resulting in a bitter that seems well suited to being enjoyed slowly, little by little. It will be served in a tumbler rather than a tulip glass, and the size is listed as 300 ml and up, so it seems ideal for settling in and savoring it at a leisurely pace.
Scheduled serving dates are March 29, 14:00-18:00; March 31, 17:00-20:00; April 2, 17:00-20:00; April 9, 17:00-20:00; April 11, 14:00-18:00; April 12, 14:00-18:00; and April 14, 17:00-20:00. Nomimono-ya is a beer pub centered on craft beer, and part of its appeal is following the rotation of taps. For anyone in Fushozan-cho who wants to quietly enjoy Minoh Beer's new bitter, this is one to watch.
