Hop BroAt Tokyo ∞景, Omori Sanno Brewery's spring version 'Yachiyo' is being introduced.
MugiHuh, the spring-version Yachiyo sounds like one of those soft, cherry-blossom-like beers?
Hop BroWhat makes it interesting is that it came from an idea proposed by students in the Tokyo University of Technology Faculty of Design - an original craft beer.
MugiWhat? The Faculty of Design comes up with beer? And it was student-proposed? Are they toasting in class or something?
Hop BroIt's serious: the style is an India Pale Wheat with restrained bitterness, and Belgian yeast gives the aroma more volume.
MugiWait, India but wheat? My head is totally lost in malt juice!
Hop BroIn short, it has IPA-like aromatics but gentler bitterness, and it's layered with three hop varieties: Saaz, Galaxy, and HBC472.
MugiWhoa! And they put tea leaves in it too? Hearing green-tea finish makes me want to try a sip right away!
Hop BroExactly. The tea leaves add complexity to the aroma and leave a refreshing astringency in the aftertaste, so it pairs well with spring air.
MugiAnd at 4.5% ABV and 360 ml, it sounds perfect for one leisurely drink!
Hop BroKeeping the lineage of the earlier 'CHIYO' in mind while also putting the wish that it would be loved for a long time in Omori into the name itself is great.
MugiIf you drink it at Tokyo ∞景, the story tastes good along with the flavor! I want to go check the taps today!
