Hop BroAt BRIGHT BLUE BREWING in Fujiyoshida, they introduced a brown-ale-based spice ale. What's fascinating is how the aroma is put together.
MugiWhoa! Just the name Spice Ale sounds intense! I can't even imagine what it tastes like~.
Hop BroThe base has the depth of a brown ale, and then they layer in orange peel, cinnamon, cloves, and sansho. It's the kind of beer that sells itself through layers of aroma, not sweetness.
MugiOrange peel, cinnamon, cloves, and sansho? Wait, is this the throw-everything-in strategy!? My mouth is going to turn into a theme park!
Hop BroIt looks flashy, but the goal is clear. They create layers of aroma so you get citrus first, then spices, and finally a sharp sansho finish.
MugiHmm~! That sounds hard to pull off, but maybe it's the kind of beer that reveals itself as you drink? I like that it's not the sort you understand in one sip!
Hop BroExactly. And on MyBeer it's listed at ABV 6.0% and IBU 20.5, so it has real substance too. It's not too bitter, and the balance of aroma and malt is what makes it good.
MugiSix percent and still not heavy? That's unfair! Having solid drinkability while playing around with aroma is the best!
Hop BroSince BRIGHT BLUE BREWING is a brewpub, being able to enjoy a freshly brewed glass is another strength. Drinking it with the air of the foothills of Mount Fuji makes its character come through even more clearly.
MugiWow, now I really want to go! One drink in Fujiyoshida, slowly following the aroma as I sip it would be absolute happiness!
