MugiWhoa, a mandarin beer!? Just the name alone sounds delicious, especially since it says it uses Unshu mikan!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, it’s a fruit ale that’s easy to drink at 5.0% ABV.
MugiFrrruit ale... what even is that! So it’s not just sweet, but an ale with fruity character?
Hop BroExactly. This time they paired it with Hallertau Blanc for the hops, so it’s designed to highlight the mikan aroma without getting in the way.
MugiHallertau... something Blanc? Wow, that suddenly sounds like a magic spell, but if the hop character is restrained then it sounds easy to drink!
Hop BroThat’s right. The post describes it as having a soft sweetness and a somewhat nostalgic finish, so it seems like a really gentle beer.
MugiOh, I see! Then it should go well with food too, and it sounds nice to sip slowly on its own. Easy on the palate is a big plus!
Hop BroOUR DAYs Brewery & Club house itself is interesting too. It’s a small brewpub past the shopping street from Sasazuka Station.
MugiOriginal beer on the first floor, and special weekend dishes at the Clubhouse on the second floor! This is basically a place I have to go to for a drink in Sasazuka!
Hop BroYeah, it’s a limited-feel beer wrapped in the fragrance of mikan, and it’s the kind of thing that puts you in beer mode right away.
MugiI’m totally in that mode too! Today, I just want to go out for a light, refreshing pint!
OUR DAYs Brewery & Club house in Sasazuka introduced "Mikan Ale #3" in an Instagram post on March 28. The recipe is 5.0% ABV with 15 IBU, using Hallertau Blanc for the hops and Unshu mikan as a secondary ingredient. The design keeps the hop character restrained while putting the aroma and fruitiness of the mikan front and center.
In the post, the beer is described as having "a gently spreading mikan aroma" and "a soft sweetness with a faintly nostalgic finish." It is light on the palate and easy to drink without fatigue. As an ale aimed at bringing out the natural deliciousness of the fruit, it seems well suited both with meals and on its own.
OUR DAYs Brewery & Club house is a small taproom and brewpub located past the shopping street from Sasazuka Station. On the first floor, six to seven kinds of original beer are on tap, along with simple snacks. On weekends, the second-floor Clubhouse opens, offering special dishes available only that day. Another draw is being able to casually enjoy freshly brewed beer in the atmosphere of a place where local people gather. That relaxed, neighborhood feel is part of what makes the shop distinctive.
It will likely catch the eye not only of fruit-beer fans, but also of anyone looking for a bright, aromatic pint. In Sasazuka, you can find a limited-edition ale wrapped in the soft fragrance of mikan.
