Hop BroCraftsman Sendai near Sendai Station just tapped BLACK TIDE BREWING’s Hoyaboya White Ale. The name alone already makes you curious, right?
MugiWait, a Hoyaboya beer? It sounds adorable, and now suddenly I’m supposed to drink it!?
Hop BroThat’s part of the charm. It’s a Belgian white named after the Kesennuma character, and 5.0% ABV makes it perfect for warm weather.
MugiOh wow! But what exactly is Belgian white? “White” doesn’t mean there’s milk in it… right!?
Hop BroNo milk involved. It uses plenty of wheat malt, so it pours a little hazy, and the big appeal is that soft, pillowy mouthfeel.
MugiOkay, I can practically taste the fluffiness already. But coriander and orange peel sounds like some kind of spice committee meeting.
Hop BroIt really is. Then yeast-driven fruitiness joins in, so what you get is a bright citrusy aroma with a gentle, easy finish.
MugiWhat is this magic? And they’ve got three Hoyaboya beers there too? That’s a full-on lineup for a comparison flight.
Hop BroExactly. Craftsman Sendai has 31 taps and strong Italian food, so this white ale works brilliantly as a meal-opening beer.
MugiClose to the station, easy to drop into, refreshing, and even good for side-by-side tasting… my heart is already at cheers right now!
Hop BroThen it’s settled. On a hot day, I’d start with some pizza or appetizers and a clean first pint of this.
MugiYep, my first sip would go past “huh” straight to “amazing.” This is a Sendai must-drink for me.
