CAMOSI BREWING's West Coast Pale Ale and Saison on Tap at VANAVASA in Kamakura
A post has been published from the beer pub VANAVASA in Onari-cho, Kamakura, featuring guest brewery CAMOSI BREWING from Itoshima City, Fukuoka Prefecture. Instagram lists two offerings: West Coast Pale Ale 6.0% and Saison 6.5%.
Hop BroA guest tap opening is happening at VANAVASA in Onari-cho, Kamakura this time, and CAMOSI BREWING from Itoshima, Fukuoka has come to town. It's a two-beer lineup with a West Coast Pale Ale and a Saison, and the pairing is clearly inviting you to drink.
MugiWait, you can compare a West Coast Pale Ale and a Saison at the same place!? Just hearing that makes me feel like my brain is turning into beer!
Hop BroStart with the West Coast Pale Ale 6.0%. It has a citrusy hop aroma and a crisp bitterness at its core, and it's the kind of beer whose outline becomes clearer the more you drink.
MugiWhat do you mean the outline becomes clearer? Does the beer suddenly become more handsome!? That's kind of hard to grasp, but basically it means it's refreshing, right?
Hop BroExactly. Roughly speaking, it means you can see the face of the hops. The aroma leans citrus and green, the bitterness is moderate, and it makes a nice statement without being too flashy.
MugiOhhh! So the next Saison 6.5% seems like the opposite. I've heard the name Saison, but what kind of character does it have?
Hop BroSaison's appeal is its fermentation-derived aroma. It can bring out a light spice-like note or a fruity quality, and the finish is dry. Since its expression changes as the temperature rises, the slower you drink it, the more interesting it gets.
MugiWow, this is the kind of beer that would be a waste to finish while it's still ice-cold! Changing with temperature makes it the beer world's two-sword style!
Hop BroAnd because the place is in Kamakura Station's walk-around-town-friendly location, it's great to drop in casually during sightseeing and compare the beers. I like how Itoshima's brewery and the Kamakura counter are connected here; it really feels like a guest-beer pairing.
MugiAll right, I'll start with the West Coast Pale Ale to lock in the hops, then slowly follow the changes with the Saison! Seeing this makes me want to head to VANAVASA and raise a glass right now!
At VANAVASA in Onari-cho, Kamakura, a post introducing guest brewery CAMOSI BREWING from Itoshima City, Fukuoka Prefecture has been published. The Instagram announcement features two beers: West Coast Pale Ale 6.0% and Saison 6.5%.
West Coast Pale Ale is a beer for those who want to enjoy hop aroma and a crisp drinking finish. Built around citrus and green aromas with a well-balanced bitterness, it is known as a style whose outline becomes easier to grasp the more you keep drinking. By contrast, Saison is appealing for its light fermentation-driven aroma and dry finish, and its character tends to change as the temperature rises.
VANAVASA is a beer pub in the Kamakura Station area, and its easy-to-stop-by location makes it appealing for a quick visit while walking around town. It is a convenient place to compare guest beers on draft between sightseeing stops, and this time it forms a very guest-beer-like pairing, connecting a brewery from Itoshima with a counter in Kamakura.
Because the two beers have clearly different directions, it may be nice to start with the West Coast Pale Ale to get a feel for the hop profile, then move on to the Saison to check its fermentation character and dryness. Being able to drink while comparing each brand's individuality is one of the pleasures unique to guest beers.
