Hop BroMoon Calendar has been tapped at Taru Taru in Takamatsu. It's NOMCRAFT Brewing's new guest beer, a West Coast IPA collaboration with Aslan Brewing Company.
MugiWhoa! Just hearing West Coast IPA makes me think bitter! What's that, one with some serious drinkability?
Hop BroRight, hop aroma is the star, with passion fruit, white grape, and citrus coming through, and a sharp, clean finish.
MugiHuh? How do you get a white grape aroma in beer? There's no grape in it, right?
Hop BroThere isn't. The Nelson Sauvin hop gives off that wine-like white grape character, and Idaho 7 and Simcoe support the citrus and tropical notes.
MugiWow, that's a lot of information just from the names! And with a pilsner malt base, is it light even though it's an IPA?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. To lean into a crisp design, they've raised the sulfate ratio compared with NOMCRAFT's usual beers. So even though the aroma is bold, the emphasis is on a clean, sharp drink.
MugiI see! But sulfate ratio suddenly sounds like a science class, and that's kind of scary!
Hop BroSimply put, it's a tweak that sharpens the flavor's outline. And Taru Taru has taps visible from outside, with five domestic craft beers on tap, including some from Kagawa, so it's a perfect place to stop by for a drink.
MugiThat's the best! If it's making its Takamatsu debut, I have to go. If it's fragrant and crisp, I already want another glass today!
At the beer pub Taru Taru in Kawaramachi, Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture, `Moon Calendar` by Wakayama's NOMCRAFT Brewing has arrived. In an Instagram post, it was introduced as a West Coast IPA brewed in collaboration with `Aslan Brewing Company`, and the aroma reminiscent of passion fruit, white grape, and citrus, along with a sharp, clean finish, were cited as standout impressions.
Taru Taru is a casual beer pub where the taps are visible from outside. All five taps pour domestic craft beer, several of them from Kagawa Prefecture, making it an approachable spot for local drinkers. You can relax with a drink at the counter made of zelkova wood or at the tables in the back, and it's also a place where you can stop by for a quick standing drink outside.
`Moon Calendar` is built on a base of pilsner malt and combines Nelson Sauvin, Idaho 7, and Simcoe. The explanation that it raises the sulfate ratio compared with NOMCRAFT's usual approach to aim for a crisper finish shows that this is a beer mindful not only of hop aroma but also the outline of the aftertaste. Including the fact that this is NOMCRAFT's first appearance at Taru Taru, it is the kind of release that's easy for people looking for hop-forward IPAs to check out.
