Hop BroIt's an American wheat ale, with the sweet-tart flavor of passion fruit layered with pineapple notes.
MugiWheat ale? Wait, does that mean a wheat beer? That sounds so gentle!
Hop BroExactly. It often uses wheat in the malt bill, which tends to give it a lighter mouthfeel. So even though the drinkability is bright and easygoing, the fruit character still comes through.
MugiOhhh! Then you could really keep going with it! At 5.5% ABV, I'm glad it doesn't feel too strong tonight!
Hop BroAnd what's nice is that Half Yard Shiki describes it as getting cleaner the more you drink it. It stays bright and fruity all the way through without feeling heavy.
MugiNice! Then it seems like it'd go well with food. Salad and fritters sound like a great match, don't they?
Hop BroExactly. The acidity sweeps away the oil, so after a fritter you'll want another sip. That's what's strong about how well it pairs with food.
MugiI love that. Being able to drink this in Shiki is the best! It really feels like the fun of a guest tap, and now I definitely want to detour there tonight!
