Citraba Nakano taps Yatsugatake Beer Touchdown’s ROCK Weizen
Craft Beer Sakaba Citraba Nakano announced a new guest beer tap on Instagram. The beer on tap is ROCK Weizen from Yatsugatake Beer Touchdown, a wheat beer known for its smooth body and aromatic profile.
Hop BroToday the buzz is a new guest tap at Craft Bakushu Sakaba Citraba Nakano. They’ve tapped ROCK Weizen from Yatsugatake Beer Touchdown, and getting that on draft in Nakano is a pretty good draw.
MugiWhat! Yatsugatake Beer Touchdown already sounds intense! But Weizen is that soft, cloudy white beer style, right?
Hop BroExactly. The Weizen style uses wheat malt, keeps bitterness restrained, and gives you that creamy mouthfeel. It really works as a first drink on a hot day.
MugiHearing wheat malt makes me picture a bakery prep table, and now I’m hungry! Is that what gives it the soft texture?
Hop BroHonestly, that’s not far off. Softness from wheat malt makes it smooth, and the hops stay gentle, so it goes down very easily.
MugiWhoa! And that banana-and-clove aroma from the article, what is that? A beer that wandered into a fruit-and-spice dessert party?
Hop BroThat’s one of the fun parts of Weizen. Yeast-driven aromatics can come across like banana sweetness and clove-like spice. The ingredients aren’t literally talking, so you can relax.
MugiI was relieved until that last sentence made me nervous again! Still, if it has low-bitterness balance, even a craft beer beginner like me could get into it.
Hop BroAnd Citraba Nakano is known for 15 rotating draft taps, so there’s always that fun feeling of a one-day-only encounter. It’s easy to drop in, and the food and lemon sours help too.
MugiThat’s unfair, the fun starts before you even order! Fine, a drink in Nakano is officially happening, and I’m starting with ROCK Weizen and then going after the food.
Hop BroThat’s the right finish. I want to check that creamy wheat-beer texture and aroma for myself. ROCK Weizen from Yatsugatake Beer Touchdown sounds very drinkable right now.
MugiSame! I can already imagine the first sip feeling like the answer to summer. My throat has basically started walking to Citraba Nakano already!
