Onomichi Brewery Puts Setoda Lime IPA on Tap
Onomichi Brewery in Kubo, Onomichi has put its summer session IPA, Setoda Lime IPA, on tap. Brewed with lime from Takaneshima in Setoda, the beer is described as a light, refreshing pour with restrained alcohol and bitterness, and it is available in limited quantities.
Hop BroThis is exactly the kind of beer for summer: Setoda Lime IPA. It is now on tap at Onomichi Brewery, and it is a session IPA brewed with limes from Takanejima.
MugiWait, Takanejima limes already sound insanely refreshing! But if it is an IPA, is it not super bitter?
Hop BroThat is the smart part. It is a session IPA, so the alcohol and bitterness are toned down a bit. The whole point is an easy, gulpable drink.
MugiWhat is that even supposed to mean? A session IPA sounds like a beer for business meetings!
Hop BroClose, but if that happened the meeting notes would smell like hops. Think of it as an IPA with a lighter drinking feel, so you can enjoy more than one without getting smacked by bitterness.
MugiOooh, so you get Japanese lime aroma floating up first, and then the hops come through clean and crisp after that? That sounds like summer in a glass!
Hop BroExactly. Onomichi Brewery is all about Made in Onomichi beer, and they are serious about translating local ingredients and local character into the glass.
MugiHold on, terroir-focused? Why are you suddenly talking like a fancy wine critic? What does that actually mean?
Hop BroIt just means the beer tries to express the place itself, not only the fruit. That fits a brewpub built in a 130-year-old storehouse, and this batch is a limited release for SOIL SETODA's first anniversary, with online sales too.
Hop BroAnd since it is limited, I want a summer pint before it disappears. The bright lime aroma and that lighter body are absolutely calling my name.
MugiI am fully on board. I want one now, and if we can check both the taproom and the online shop, that is basically perfect. Chill the glasses, summer starts here!
