Hop BroAt 3TREE BREWERY in Osaka's Ibaraki area, the blonde ale "Patricia" is now on tap.
MugiWait, what does a blonde ale taste like? The name already sounds soft and fluffy!
Hop BroThis one is 5.0% ABV, and it's a beer with a light, easy-drinking finish and aromas like citrus and white grapes.
MugiCitrus and white grapes? How does that even mix together? Is that the hop aroma?
Hop BroExactly. And this time it's made with the same ingredient design as "SHY BOY," so the hops, malt, and yeast are shared.
MugiWhoa, the same ingredients but a different expression? A side-by-side tasting would be absolutely fun!
Hop BroThat's right. Since 3TREE brews on the first floor and serves beer on the second, it's a small brewpub, so the freshness difference comes through even more clearly.
MugiI see, tasting it on site really makes it convincing. I'm curious about the word "crispy" too, but does that mean a light finish?
Hop BroExactly. It's easy to drink but not rough, with a clean finish that makes it a good first beer of the day.
MugiAnd if you can buy it in cans too, you can enjoy it at home as well! This is the kind of thing that makes you want to head to Ibaraki right away!
Hop BroRight? If you can have a drink near the station and take cans home too, tonight really does feel like a Patricia-and-SHY BOY kind of toast.
