Novel Craft, a beer pub in Minamikarasuyama, Setagaya, Tokyo, has tapped Novel Craft Brewing's Red Purple. The post describes it as a blueberry-infused sour saison with an elegant berry aroma and a clear red-purple color.
Hop BroNovel Craft in Minami-Karasuyama just tapped Red Purple today, and a blueberry-steeped sour saison sounds exactly like the kind of beer that makes you sprint there after work.
MugiWait, a blueberry-soaked beer? I was picturing something jammy and sweet, but does sour saison mean it’s actually totally different?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part, because a sour saison is built around gentle tartness and a light body, and the blueberry is there more for aroma and nuance than straight-up sweetness.
MugiWhoa, but what is saison exactly? My brain is already foaming over just from the name!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it’s a farmhouse-style ale with an easy, breezy feel, and when you add some acidity, the fruit character pops even more.
MugiOkay, so the light drinking feel comes first, then the berry aroma floats in after it? That sounds way more serious than just a pretty color.
Hop BroExactly, and they’re highlighting an elegant berry aroma plus that red-purple color, so the second it hits the glass you know the whole table will stare.
MugiThat red-purple look is basically camera-ready beer status! I’d spend five minutes deciding whether to sip first or take pictures first.
Hop BroHere’s where I get nerdy: when fruit is steeped in, the aroma lift in the glass can come out really clean, and the acidity may stay smooth instead of sharp.
MugiHold on, aroma lift in the glass? That got fancy fast. In Mugi language, does that just mean it smells amazing and isn’t too sour to keep drinking?
Hop BroThat’s it, and with the 5 p.m. opening on the post, you can head over in the evening and get a solid read on Novel Craft Brewing’s style in one pour.
MugiThen it’s settled, because I want that one glowing red-purple pint in front of me immediately, and after all this talking I’m absolutely ready to drink it!
