Hop BroAt Taru Taru in Takamatsu's Kawaramachi, 062福 Citrus Saison has been tapped. It feels like a pour that carries the Seto Inland Sea air, very much in the style of Kufuku Brewing Honjima.
MugiWait, it's a saison with lime!? Just the name sounds so refreshing, I feel like my throat is about to drink it before I do!
Hop BroExactly. It's a Belgian saison made with lime from Takanejima in Hiroshima. The yeast's herbal and spicy notes mingle with the bright citrus character, which makes it really pleasant.
MugiBelgian? What even is that! It suddenly sounds like the beer has gotten way more high-class, like it's from the Belgian royal family or something!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's a style that lets you enjoy the character of Belgian yeast. Fruity, spicy, and lively in the way its aroma comes through.
MugiI get it! So this isn't just a plain crisp beer, it's got aroma and depth too. I might love this!
Hop BroAnd it's only 5% ABV with an IBU of 17, so it's easy to drink. It's not overly bitter, it's light on its feet, and it gently accompanies your meal.
MugiIBU 17 sounds like it should be really bitter, but it isn't!? The difference between the number and the actual impression is basically beer-world fraud!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. It has a fullness within its crispness, so even though the mouthfeel is light, the shape of the flavor stays intact. It seems like it'd pair well with Taru Taru's food too.
MugiAnd it's bottle-conditioned, right? It sounds like even the bubbles have been raised well, and it must feel classy the moment you open it!
Hop BroExactly. It's unfiltered and finished as a beer with real depth. On a night in Kawaramachi, I'd want to drink it slowly while checking out that citrus brightness.
MugiYeah, talking about it just makes me want to drink it even more! This is absolutely my drink of the night choice!
