Golden Oni Pale Ale tapped at Synchronicity in Yokohama's Noge, with 9 taps pouring
At CraftBeer Cafe & Bar Synchronicity in Yokohama's Noge, Noboribetsu Jibeer Oni Densetsu's "Golden Oni Pale Ale 'ADHA-218 Single Ver.'" was newly tapped. The bar was pouring from 9 taps, with a lineup that included Shiga Kogen, West Coast Brewing, Let's Beer Works, and more.
Hop BroToday, CraftBeer Cafe & Bar Synchronicity in Yokohama's Noge is on fire. It's running 9 taps, and they even added a fresh tap of Oni Densetsu.
MugiWhat, 9 taps!? With that many, my eyes would start swimming before I even picked one! A place with more taps than seats is just too much information!
Hop BroThe star is Noboribetsu Jibeer Oni Densetsu's Golden Oni Pale Ale, "ADHA-218 Single Ver." It's a beer that really lets you see the hop character, using a first-time hop all by itself.
MugiWait, what! Single Ver. sounds like an only child or something. Hearing single-hop use suddenly makes it feel like science class!
Hop BroExactly. The point is to put the hop front and center and make its personality clear. This one layers berry and mango notes with citrus, then brings in bitterness and body.
MugiOhhh! So it smells kind of sweet, but then still shows its beer side at the end? The gap between citrus and bitterness is really interesting!
Hop BroThat's right. Since it's a pale ale, it's easy to drink, but it's the kind of beer where it's fun to follow the changing hop character. You can really nose it carefully and feel the impression shift sip by sip.
MugiWow, that would keep me busy! But there are so many other tempting beers too, and the wide lineup is kind of unfair.
Hop BroExactly. They've got a hoppy saison, the nitro version of "1759," plus pilsner and mild ale, so you can change your approach depending on your mood.
MugiIf you can choose this much in Noge, you can wrap up both your first drink and your last one here. Picking a pint that fits today's mood might be the happiest thing of all!
Hop BroThen tonight, let's start with the Golden Oni Pale Ale at Synchronicity and think about the next one after that. A pint to follow the aroma means we've got no choice but to go drinking.

What kind of pint can you get?
The highlight of the day was Noboribetsu Jibeer Oni Densetsu's "Golden Oni Pale Ale 'ADHA-218 Single Ver.'" According to the post, this version uses the first-time hop ADHA-218 on its own, creating an aroma reminiscent of berries and mango, layered with citrus and finished with firm bitterness and body. As a pale ale that puts hop character front and center, it's the kind of beer you'll want to slowly follow as the aroma changes.
The rest of the lineup is equally broad: a hoppy saison, a nitro beer, a pilsner, a mild ale, a lager, and even West Coast Brewing's "Summer Breeze." Whether you're in the mood to drink briskly or savor aroma and finish, the appeal of this place is how many choices it gives you under one roof.
