MugiWait, kabosu and yuzu in beer!? That sounds like a drink you’d have after a bath!
Hop BroExactly. The style is Saison w/Kabosu & Yuzu, and its charm is the light, dry finish.
MugiA saison sounds kind of farmy by name, but what actually happens? Is this dry finish one of those things that makes your throat get lost?
Hop BroNot lost, just a finish where the aroma fades cleanly and makes you want the next sip. And with ABV 5.5% / IBU 65, it balances drinkability and bitterness really well.
MugiOhhh! Bitter but easy to drink is kind of unfair, isn’t it? Are you just masking it with those Japanese citrus nuances?
Hop BroNot masking it, designing it. Like the IRODORI series from Mugi Zakkoku Kobo Microbrewery in Saitama, it puts the ingredients front and center.
MugiI see, so it’s the kind that makes local ingredients the star. It makes you want to slowly follow every bit of flavor in each glass.
Hop BroExactly. In a calm place like Beer Cellar Ichinomiya, you can notice the citrus character emerging more as the temperature rises.
MugiThen let’s get some light snacks ready and make it one of those beers that makes you want to toast right now!
