Hop BroChoryo Sake Brewery's April New Release Variety Set has a really spring-like feel.
MugiWait, it's a six-bottle set and it includes new releases? That's a pretty good deal, isn't it?
Hop BroThe contents are `HAZY IPA -Spring-`, `Wakyo -Sake Lees Yuzu White-`, and `Rice Lager` for a three-beer tasting comparison, two bottles each.
MugiHuh! But what exactly makes a Hazy IPA hazy? Is it all cloudy?
Hop BroRight, it's visually hazy, puts the hop aroma up front, and keeps the bitterness gentler, so basically it's a cloudy-style IPA.
Mugi`Wakyo -Sake Lees Yuzu White-` already sounds delicious! Sake lees and yuzu is like a Japanese sweets combination.
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. It gets body from daiginjo sake lees and lifts the aroma with yuzu, so it comes together properly as a Japanese-style white ale.
MugiI see! So `Rice Lager` is the crisp one, then? Sweetness from the rice sounds like such a gentle flavor~.
Hop BroExactly. It tones down the hop and malt presence, and finishes with a soft rice sweetness, making it an easy-to-drink lager for everyday occasions.
MugiAnd shipping is on or after April 23 too. It's perfect for spring evening drinks, and now I want to clear out the fridge right away!
Hop BroYou can really feel Choryo Sake Brewery's balance of sake and beer here, and this is the kind of set that makes you want to drink all the sake lees, lager, and hazy together.
MugiYeah, I'm in the mood to drink all three varieties today! Let's hold a serious meeting about which one to open first!
