Hop BroHansharo Beer has put out a limited beer called Pineapple Weizen – Tropic Banana. Just from the name, it already feels tropical, and even the foam seems to carry a tropical vibe.
MugiWait, ripe pineapple in beer?! That's basically dessert, isn't it?
Hop BroGood reaction. Pineapple is the star of the aroma, but the Weizen-like banana note layers on top of it, so it's not just sweet there are layers of aroma.
MugiLayers? What is that, suddenly it sounds like skincare serum! Can beer really do that?
Hop BroIt can. Weizen yeast is prone to producing banana-like aromas, and when you add the smoothness of wheat malt, the mouthfeel becomes gentle.
MugiWow, so even people who don't like bitter beer could drink this easily. And that gentle haze sounds kind of stylish.
Hop BroExactly. Haze isn't the enemy. It softly brings out the fruit character, and this beer starts with a refreshing flavor on the first sip, then leaves a banana-like aftertaste.
MugiWhoa, it's like traveling with every sip! My head is already full of tropical vibes!
Hop BroAnd what's making it is Hansharo Beer in Izu no Kuni City, Shizuoka. The Izu-Nirayama backdrop gives it a local character, which makes this limited release even better.
MugiI love that it really has a place-based story. Beer is fun before you even drink it, but a beer rooted in the local community makes me want to try it even more.
Hop BroThat's settled then. Today, I want to chill this limited-edition Weizen and really savor the aroma. Mugi, we're definitely drinking this together, right?
MugiOf course! If pineapple and banana are both coming through, I want to toast right now!
