Hop BroYellow Monkey Brewing's HANA YUZU tapping has arrived at THE CRAFT in Susukino, Sapporo. That's enough to lift your spirits.
MugiWhoa! A hana yuzu beer already sounds delicious, but what does it taste like?
Hop BroThe style is a fruit wheat ale, with hana yuzu's citrus character blended with a soft wheat mouthfeel.
MugiI get the fruit part, but what's different about a wheat ale? Does it have a wheat-flour fairy in it?
Hop BroNo fairy, but there is wheat. It gives you a soft drinking texture, so you can enjoy the aroma and sip it smoothly.
MugiOhh! And it says it uses sake yeast! Does that make it taste like sake?
Hop BroExactly, that's the interesting part. The nuance of sake yeast gently layers in and gives the hana yuzu aroma more depth.
MugiAnd it even has Riwaka hops too!? That's so much aroma information, my nose is having a meeting!
Hop BroWhat's more, the hana yuzu and coriander seed were harvested at Arimane Nouen in Kawasaki. You can taste the makers' connection in it.
MugiWhen you hear that background, it feels less like just a new arrival and more like a beer with a story. I feel a little moved before even drinking it.
Hop BroTHE CRAFT is a beer pub with 33 taps, so it's perfect for a comparison tasting. Let's toast with HANA YUZU tonight.
MugiAgreed! Let's make a great night in Susukino by getting a little tipsy on the aroma of hana yuzu with HANA YUZU tonight!
Guest Beer Arrives
Yellow Monkey Brewing's "HANA YUZU (hana yuzu)" has been added to THE CRAFT, a beer pub just a one-minute walk from Susukino Station in Sapporo. The venue introduced it on Instagram as "New!", suggesting that it has begun being served as a guest beer.
"HANA YUZU" is a fruit wheat ale that combines hana yuzu and sake yeast. Its signature is a refreshing citrus aroma and pleasant acidity derived from the hana yuzu, and by using New Zealand Riwaka hops, you can enjoy layered aromas of hana yuzu, hops, coriander seed, and sake yeast. With an ABV of 4.5%, it is designed to be easy to keep drinking.
The background of its ingredients is another highlight of this beer. The hana yuzu and coriander seed were harvested at "Arimane Nouen" in Kawasaki, run by the wife and husband who are childhood friends of a YMB taproom staff member, Mr. Shirai. This is a beer whose flavor reflects both the individuality of its ingredients and the connections among the people who made it.
THE CRAFT is a beer pub where you can enjoy 33 taps of draft craft beer and authentic Italian cuisine. It offers a selection of craft beers from Hokkaido and across Japan, and the interior is a red-brick space inspired by the atmosphere of real New York. If you want to compare craft beers or choose a beer carefully to pair with dinner, this HANA YUZU seems like a great option.
