Hop BroThe tap list at P2B Haus in Kichijoji got a pretty interesting update on 3/26. There are 11 beers, including five new kegs, and the lineup ranges from spring-like aromatic styles to the classics.
MugiWait, there are 11 beers on tap!? That's already the kind of selection that makes you want to cheer before choosing. And spring-like aromatic styles? It sounds like they already smell great before you even drink them!
Hop BroExactly. It's a craft beer restaurant behind Kichijoji Tokyu with 12 taps, so turnover is good too. One of the standout new arrivals is Hoppu Kokan's `AKIRA ACT`, a Belgian Tripel.
MugiBelgian... Tripel? Wait, that already sounds strong. What is it? Is the flavor like it's been lifting weights?
Hop BroMore than lifting weights, its hallmark is that it's high in alcohol but dry. It's not overly sweet, and citrus plus a light fruitiness come together smoothly, so it's the kind of beer that's easier to drink than it looks.
MugiOhhh! So it's a dangerous one, then, the kind that goes down too easily. Citrus and fruity are two of my favorite words in a row!
Hop BroThe likely spring headliner is FUKUOKA CRAFT BREWING's `SPRING BREEZE`, a Hazy Pale Ale with an aroma like standing under cherry blossoms. Brasserie Knot's `TIP`, a New Zealand IPA, also has a clean finish that opens into notes of stone fruit, pineapple, and peach.
MugiWait, what are stone fruits!? That sounds like a family meeting for fruits! I get pineapple and peach, but stone fruit suddenly sounds like science class!
Hop BroStone fruit is basically the peach/apricot family. And NOMCRAFT Brewing's `Whole New World` is a jasmine IPA made in collaboration with sanpin tea, using jasmine flowers and jasmine rice, so the aroma direction is really distinctive.
MugiWhoa, the aromatic adventure never stops! But ending with Wolfbräu's Pilsner sounds nice too, and the graininess plus floral and honey notes make it classic but still beautifully expressive. That's almost unfair!
Hop BroWhat's more, the hours make it easy to drop in for a daytime drink and stay into the evening, and the fact that it was fully booked by reservations from 7:30 p.m. shows how popular it is. I want to work my way from `SPRING BREEZE` to `Pilsner` in order.
MugiThat's impossible, there are too many candidates for today's drink! I'll go with `SPRING BREEZE` to get in the spring mood, and then I want to finish with `AKIRA ACT` for a little thrill!
