Early Tapping of SOMA BEER's "INNER GLOW" and "WICKED" at Maruho Saketen Minami
SOMA BEER guest beers have appeared at Maruho Saketen Minami in Osaka's Naniwa Ward. On Instagram, ahead of the start of "SOMATTO," early tapping has been announced for the Hazy DIPA "INNER GLOW" and the Hazy TIPA "WICKED."
Hop BroToday, the two early tap releases are the hot topic. At Maruho Saketen Minami in Osaka's Naniwa Ward, you can get an early taste of SOMA BEER's INNER GLOW and WICKED.
MugiWhat, you can drink them early? And in Namba too? Isn't that way too tempting already?
Hop BroExactly. INNER GLOW is a HAZY DIPA at 8.0%, with a white-wine-like aroma from NZ hops, layered with tropical fruit and plum.
MugiWhite-wine-like hops? What does that even mean! A beer that smells like white wine is messing with my head!
Hop BroSometimes hop compounds can make you think of citrus or grapes. It finishes with a honey-lemon note, leaving a gentle bittersweetness.
MugiWhoa, that's the kind of beer that makes you grin after a sip! So what is WICKED like? Just hearing HAZY TIPA 10.0% sounds strong!
Hop BroWICKED brings orange, mango, and pineapple, with a silky mouthfeel. Even at 10%, it does not push the alcohol character too hard, which is very SOMA BEER.
MugiWait, it's easy to drink even though it's 10%? That smells like trouble... it's dangerously delicious!
Hop BroOn top of that, the place is easy to use as a beer pub and the food is good too. It's also considerate that you can check the TAP LIST before visiting.
MugiIf I can drop by casually in Namba and try two hazies side by side, that's perfect! Now I really feel like going out for a drink!
At Maruho Saketen Minami in Motomachi, Naniwa Ward, Osaka, a post was published announcing that visitors can enjoy SOMA BEER guest beers. In the Instagram caption, it is noted that, ahead of the start of "SOMATTO," two beers have already been tapped early.
The two beers introduced this time are INNER GLOW and WICKED. Both are beers that put SOMA BEER's hop character front and center, and the post also carefully describes the flavor of each.
- INNER GLOW: HAZY DIPA 8.0%
- NZ hops give it a white-wine-like aroma, layered with tropical fruit and plum notes. The finish leaves a honey-lemon-like bittersweetness.
- WICKED: HAZY TIPA 10.0%
- Sweet-and-tart aromas reminiscent of orange, mango, and pineapple are paired with a silky mouthfeel. Its smooth drinkability is also impressive, as it does not strongly emphasize the alcohol content.
The shop works well as a beer pub, and one of its charms is that you can enjoy food alongside craft beer. Conveniently located for casual stop-ins in the Namba area, it offers a space that combines the character of a bottle shop and a bistro, allowing you to drink while keeping up with the tap lineup. The post also says, "Check the highlight for the current TAP LIST," making it easy to confirm the latest lineup before visiting.
It is a guest beer set worth paying attention to not only for SOMA BEER fans, but also for anyone who wants to try several hazy beers at once.
