At Beer O'clock in Fujimi, Chiba, Shiga Kogen Beer's Hazy Session IPA "KASUMI" has arrived on a New TAP. It features aromas reminiscent of grapefruit, hassaku, and white peach, with a juicy palate that keeps bitterness in check. The bottle shop also received three West Coast Brewing items.
Hop BroAt Beer O'clock in Fujimi, Chiba, Shiga Kogen Beer's KASUMI is on New TAP. It's a Hazy Session IPA, so it should be light and easygoing, but still aromatic.
MugiWhoa! Just the name KASUMI already sounds soft! But what exactly makes a Hazy Session IPA hazy?
Hop BroThat part matters, right? The haze is the cloudiness and the juicy character from the hops. KASUMI is described as bringing grapefruit and hassaku, plus a hint of white peach.
MugiThat sounds amazing! Citrus and white peach? It practically sounds like juice, so easy to drink!
Hop BroAnd it's only 4.5% ABV, so it's a Session. Since it's light, it's perfect for a 'let's have one for now' beer when you spot it on tap.
MugiHuh, so with a Session beer, does that mean light but still satisfying? That feels like a cheat code in the beer world.
Hop BroExactly. The bitterness is kept pretty low, but the hop aroma still comes through strong, so you can keep drinking it with that juicy, not-too-bitter feel.
MugiBeer O'clock is great because it's close to the station and easy for daytime drinking too! If that kind of beer shows up on an all-day service day, I'm absolutely stopping by!
Hop BroPlus, the bottle shop side has also stocked three West Coast Brewing cans and bottles. You can drink KASUMI in the pub and bring home a different one for later.
MugiThat's the best! You've already got the perfect tasting route. And if there are all those events too, it's the kind of place you want to keep going back to!
Hop BroExactly. The flow is just perfect: one glass of KASUMI, then pick up some WCB for the way home. That means tonight definitely needs a beer.
MugiYeah, I'm done for! Tonight's beer pick is fully decided! Beer O'clock has me restless and wanting to go!
