Hop BroAt Susukino Ale STAND in Susukino, Sapporo, Nelson Sauvin Lager from Tsuki to Taiyo BREWING has arrived. Even though it's a lager, it comes at you with real aroma, and that's a good thing.
MugiWait! I always thought lager had more of a clean, serious face to it. What do you mean it comes at you with aroma?
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. You get this white grape-like aroma from the Nelson Sauvin hops. It even has a white-wine-like quality, so it's a little refined.
MugiWhite wine, coconut, grapes... isn't that a lot of information? It's basically a fruit conference!
Hop BroBut the bitterness is gentle, and the drinking finish is still very much clean and dry like a lager. And at just 4.5% ABV, it's easy to enjoy without overthinking it.
MugiOhhh! So even though it looks strong, it's pretty light. Then it's the kind of easy-drinking beer that's fine even in the middle of the day, right?
Hop BroExactly. And the shop lets you enjoy beer from 10:00 a.m., so it works for a drink before meeting up too, and it's great that you can just stop by casually in the underground area of Susukino.
MugiFrom 10:00 a.m.? That's less a beer pub and more like a theme park for adults!
Hop BroAnd it's convenient because you can enjoy it not only inside the shop but also to go. Pair it with salty snacks or lighter dishes, and that crisp finish really comes alive.
MugiWow, just thinking about it makes me want a drink! I'm kind of in the mood to toast with a white-grape lager today!
Hop BroNice. Then next time, let's head out to Susukino and look for a light, refreshing drink. A lager that lets the aroma do the talking is pretty dangerous, isn't it?
