Gairo Brewing's "SUNBURST" Tapped at VANAVASA in Kamakura
A new guest beer from Gairo Brewing in Yamagata has arrived at beer pub VANAVASA in Onarimachi, Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture. The post centers on the Belgian Hoppy Ale "SUNBURST" (ABV 5%) and also notes that two other beers are available, along with an overview of its flavor and aroma.
Hop BroThe Yamagata shipment has arrived at Kamakura's VANAVASA, and the star of the show this time is Gairo Brewing's new release "SUNBURST"!
MugiWhoa! Getting to drink Yamagata beer in Kamakura is amazing! What kind of beer is this SUNBURST?
Hop BroIt's a Belgian Hoppy Ale, and the ABV is 5%. It's light, but packed with aroma!
MugiWhat? That already sounds delicious! But the mixed fermentation with two yeasts mentioned in the post sounds way too complicated!
Hop BroThe idea is that by fermenting with two yeasts, they bring out both spiciness and hop aroma at the same time.
MugiWow! And it has that gentle bitterness like spring mountain greens plus grapefruit-like citrus? That's almost unfair!
Hop BroAnd as the temperature rises, white grape and tropical aromas start to bloom, so the slower you drink it, the more fun it gets.
MugiI love that the aroma changes partway through! And they also have two other beers from the same brewery, right?
Hop BroRight. The specific names weren't listed, but starting with SUNBURST to track the aroma and then moving into a side-by-side tasting is the winning move.
MugiI've decided. I'm going to Kamakura for a guest-keg bar crawl! First glass has to be SUNBURST!
Hop BroNice. Then tonight let's toast Yamagata craft at VANAVASA. There's no way I can pass this one up!
Kamakura City Onarimachi beer pub VANAVASA shared news of a new guest beer arrival. The latest to reach the tap is a new release from Yamagata's Gairo Brewing.
SUNBURST
- Style: Belgian Hoppy Ale
- ABV: 5%
In the post, this beer is described as having a gentle bitterness reminiscent of spring mountain vegetables, a bright grapefruit-like citrus character, and white grape and tropical aromas that emerge as the temperature rises. Another highlight is that mixed fermentation using two types of yeast brings out yeast-derived spiciness alongside the hop aroma.
In addition, the brewery announced that two other beers from the same brewery are also available, though their names were not listed in the post. The idea is to first follow SUNBURST's changing aroma in the glass, then move on to compare it with the other labels.
VANAVASA is a beer pub centered on craft beer, where rotating guest kegs are part of the appeal. For anyone in the Kamakura area looking to taste a new regional brewery release in real time, this Yamagata arrival looks like a tap not to miss.
