Hop BroAt BEER SPACE on Tap in Kobe's Motomachi, NOVORU from Miyazaki has put 'Warau' on tap. And this time the star is a West Coast IPA, which is the kind of thing that makes beer lovers' noses twitch.
MugiWait, 'Warau' is cute, but isn't West Coast IPA way too cool? It already sounds bitter to me!
Hop BroExactly. It's a 7% ABV IPA with aromas like citrus and tropical fruit, then a sharp bitterness that comes chasing after the sip. The body is clear and not too heavy, so it goes down smoothly.
MugiWait, what does 'the body is clear' mean? If it's clear, does that mean the beer is thin?
Hop BroThat's about the mouthfeel, not the haze. In other words, it's not too heavy, but it has a clean outline. It's a very versatile beer that works as your first pour and as a second or later beer if you're into IPAs.
MugiOhhh, so it's something you can order casually, but it still feels satisfying. Balancing drinkability and bitterness is pretty nice!
Hop BroAnd Today's on Tap is interesting too. It spans seven beers: ONE's Brewery's Contemporary Gose, ISINOMAKI HOP WORKS' Makikaze Ale, OUR BREWING's Magic Flavour, 'Smoldering' Shu, Edel Pils, and Tamba-ji Brewery's Cherry Blossoms in Full Bloom.
MugiWhat is that! From a sour gose to a pilsner, it's like a shelf where you can pick according to your mood. And even the names are fun!
Hop BroExactly. And with Edel Pils noted as nearly kicked, you'd better hurry if you want to try it. With just 11 seats in the basement, it's the perfect place to sit down and really focus on your beer.
MugiA quiet drink underground and it's close to Motomachi Station too? That's basically the perfect excuse for a detour! Today I absolutely want NOVORU's 'Warau'!
Hop BroThat's the plan. Start with one glass for the citrus aroma and bitterness, then browse the seven taps. On a day like this, the beer itself starts saying it doesn't want to go home first.
