Hop BroAt Beer Cafe Ninkasi in Kunitachi, Kunitachi Brewery's "Anata ga Hanataba" is being tapped on March 24. And from the top of the tap list, it already feels like spring.
MugiWhoa! Even the name "Anata ga Hanataba" is adorable! A Saison w/ herbs? That sounds way too stylish, doesn't it?
Hop BroSaison originally started as a seasonal beer for farm workers, and its charm is the aromas created by fermentation. Add herbs, and you get this gentle floral and grassy lift.
MugiHmm, but when I hear herbs, doesn't it suddenly sound like a health tea? Does it still keep a real beer character?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. As a springtime pour, it's probably got just the right lightness. Even if the aroma is bright and floral, it should still land with a solid malty character.
MugiAnd on the same day, there's Ise Kadoya Beer's "Neko ni Hiki" and Yokohama Bay Brewing's "Yuzu Weisse" too! Three beers tapped today is a ridiculously strong opening choice!
Hop BroExactly. Ninkasi also has a seriously strong IPA lineup. When House IPA from Shiga Kogen, plus a Black IPA and a Dank Hop IPA are on tap, hop lovers are smiling the moment they sit down.
MugiBlack IPA is hoppy even though it's black? My brain can't keep up! A black IPA sounds hard to imagine taste-wise.
Hop BroSimply put, it's like roasted malt's toasty character riding on top of IPA bitterness. So you get toasty richness and bitterness together, and it's much crisper than it looks.
MugiGot it, today I might start with the flower bouquet, then move to an IPA, and finish with the dark one! Having even a beer that leads to the next one makes me want to keep coming back!
Hop BroAnd with COEDO's "Beniaka" lined up as Coming Soon, too. This is basically a paradise for tasting side by side. I really want to go tonight.
