MugiWait, a cat beer!? Just the name makes me want to drink it. What even is a cat-themed special beer?
Hop BroThe aroma leans toward grapes, berries, and citrus, and the flavor is firmly bitter, but the finish is crisp. It has that balance of aroma and bitterness.
MugiGrapes, berries, and citrus? That's basically a fruit stand! But an IPA that's crisp? What kind of taste maze is that?
Hop BroAn IPA is a style that lets you enjoy hop aroma and bitterness, and this one is especially good because that outline comes through very clearly. In other words, the hops are the star.
MugiI get it now! So it comes in softly with the aroma, then finishes with a sharp bitterness. It's hearty but still light on its feet. That's unfair.
Hop BroWhat's more, VECTOR BEER Kinshicho is a beer pub that means business, with 10 taps of craft beer and a rotisserie chicken lineup that really stands out.
MugiWhat, the chicken is strong too!? Marinated in more than 20 kinds of spices? That's basically a spice-covered bird already perfected as beer's partner!
Hop BroThey also have house-made sausage and shungiku bombs, so even a beer with a strong aroma like this cat-themed IPA won't clash with the food. That's what makes its pairing range so broad.
MugiIf it's easy to get to from Kinshicho Station, then it's the kind of place that just pulls you in after work! I want to start with one glass of the cat beer, then chase it with chicken!
Hop BroExactly. Once you check the aroma first and then match it with food, this IPA's character comes into even clearer view. Tonight, I really feel like doing a tasting comparison.
MugiYeah, this is impossible to resist. I want to go pick up Bokura no Neko and enjoy both the aroma and bitterness together!
