MAHOW BREW's seasonal Cordelia is now on tap at CRAFT BEER HOUSE molto!! in Umeda
CRAFT BEER HOUSE molto!!, a beer pub in Umeda, Osaka, has started pouring MAHOW BREW's seasonal beer Cordelia on tap. The beer uses Okinawan watermelon, cucumber, lychee, and seawater salt from Yagaji Island, giving it a distinct summer profile.
Hop BroI’ve got a good one from Umeda today. At CRAFT BEER HOUSE molto!! on the 31st floor, MAHOW BREW just tapped Cordelia, a seasonal guest beer.
MugiWhat! A 31st-floor beer pub gets something that wild? And Cordelia sounds like the heroine of a fantasy story!
Hop BroThis heroine is stacked with Okinawan summer ingredients: watermelon, cucumber, lychee, and even sea salt from Yagaji Island.
MugiWhat even is that combo! That’s a whole summer festival in one glass. Watermelon and cucumber don’t start arguing in the pint?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It opens with a marmalade-like aroma, then a soft mouthfeel, and after that you get acidity, salinity, and fruit sweetness in layers.
MugiOkay, but what does mineral character mean? It sounds like someone shaved a rock into the beer!
Hop BroNo rocks involved. It’s basically flavor outline control: the sea salt gives a gentle edge so the watermelon and lychee stay bright instead of blurry.
MugiOhhh, got it! So when the article says appetizers and fish go well with it, that means food makes it shine even more?
Hop BroExactly. Put it next to carpaccio and it becomes a meal-completing beer, where the aroma, salt, and fruit all lock together.
MugiThat’s it, I’m finished. My throat reacted on its own. I seriously want a pint of Cordelia with that Umeda view.
Hop BroSame here. At molto!!, with food on the table, I’d love to chase that salty-sour layering and see the whole beer click.
