Hop BroToday, I’ve got a hot one that was tapped at the beer pub Taru Taru in Kawaramachi, Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture. It’s Y.market Brewing's "MINAMICHITA Bergamot IPA," a guest beer that really catches your attention.
MugiWhoa, just from the title it sounds delicious! An IPA with bergamot in it? The aroma must be incredible.
Hop BroExactly. It’s a fruit IPA made with bergamot from Manshu Fruits in Minamichita. And it’s not just sweet either - the aroma has a beautifully defined edge.
MugiFruit IPA sounds kind of like strawberry juice, though. Fruit in an IPA just twists my brain!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. This one has a lightly hazy gold color and keeps some substance with a medium body. The fruit character comes forward, but it still has the backbone of a proper IPA.
MugiOhh! What does it smell like? Just hearing that it’s like lemon tea already makes me happy!
Hop BroThat’s exactly the point. It has a refreshing aroma that calls bergamot and lemon tea to mind, layered with the herbal and floral character of Earl Grey. It’s elegant, but easy to drink.
MugiSo it’s like an Earl Grey IPA!? That tea-like citrus vibe is way too stylish!
Hop BroAnd it leaves a pleasant bitterness at the end, so it’s not just bright and flashy. Taru Taru also describes it as a "lightly drinkable type of IPA," and the fact that it pairs easily with food is a strong point.
MugiSo it would go with fried food too! If it’s easy to pair with meals, I’m not sure I can stop wanting beer.
Hop BroExactly. Its good compatibility with fried foods is another nice touch. Being able to taste a Y.market Brewing beer from Nagoya at Taru Taru in Takamatsu gives it that a beer you meet while traveling feel, which is irresistible.
MugiAnd the fact that they were drawn in by the simple label is great too! Now I want to go check out that bergamot aroma right away!
Hop BroRight? Beers like this really win you over with the aroma in the first sip. Tonight, I’d want to take my time and enjoy a refreshing IPA moment at Taru Taru.
MugiYeah, I want one too! A beer that leaves pleasant bitterness behind is absolutely perfect with snacks!
