Hop BroMAHOWBREW × Beer Bomb's "Cleopatra" has landed on the 31st-floor guest beer lineup in Umeda. The fact that you can drink it at CRAFT BEER HOUSE molto!! is pretty exciting.
MugiWhoa! Even the name Cleopatra sounds strong! But what's an imperial gose? Some kind of spell?
Hop BroThat's a good question. It's a salted beer, and gose traditionally has sourness and saltiness as its signature. Add the heft of 9.0% ABV, and it really gains presence.
MugiABV 9.0%!? It looks refreshing, but inside it's pretty much a powerhouse!
Hop BroExactly, and the brewing ingredients are interesting too. It's packed with Okinawan ingredients: pineapple, kabuchi, karaki, sea salt, and even coconut aromatic water.
MugiWhat's kabuchi? I've never heard of that fruit, but the name alone sounds so stylish!
Hop BroKabuchi is a citrus fruit native to Okinawa, kind of like a local mandarin, and it has a clean aroma. The bright citrus character layers with the pineapple's sweet-tart flavor, so it doesn't end as just another fruity sour beer.
MugiI see! And with the coconut and spice, it has a tropical cocktail vibe even though it's beer. Its range is huge!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. The spiciness from karaki and the sea salt tie everything together. Because it doesn't lean too hard into sourness, it manages to be both substantial and easy to drink.
MugiWith the night view from the 31st floor, it'd be the kind of beer you want to savor one glass at a time. When you find a guest beer like this, you want to check it out right away!
Hop BroYeah, this is MAHOWBREW at full strength, and if you run into it at the shop, you're lucky. This is what they mean by a beer you want to drink right now.
The anniversary collaboration beer Cleopatra from MAHOWBREW and Beer Bomb has arrived at the beer pub CRAFT BEER HOUSE molto!!, located on the 31st floor of Hankyu Grand Building in central Umeda, Osaka.
Cleopatra is an imperial gose brewed by MAHOWBREW. It has an ABV of 9.0%, and the recipe includes Okinawan pineapple, kabuchi (an Okinawan native mandarin), karaki, an Okinawan spice also known as Okinawan cinnamon, sea salt from Yagaji Island, and coconut aromatic water. Built on the salty character that defines a gose, it layers fruity sweet-tartness, bright citrus notes, and a clear spicy edge.
The flavor impression avoids leaning too far toward simple fruit-driven acidity. Instead, it unfolds with the gentle sweet-tartness of pineapple, the fresh aroma of kabuchi, the spicy accent of karaki, and the rounded softness of coconut. Even with its firm alcoholic presence, the sea salt brings everything together, creating a balanced beer that is easy to keep drinking.
CRAFT BEER HOUSE molto!! is conveniently located in the center of Umeda, making it an easy place to stop by and enjoy guest beers at a relaxed pace. With its 31st-floor setting, this is a release especially suited to people who want to savor a beer slowly alongside a meal. Be sure to check out this collaboration, which clearly shows MAHOWBREW's character, at the bar.
