The Kichijoji beer pub BEER MARROW highlighted West Coast Brewing's "WCB Light" as part of its lineup for 18:00 to 23:00 on May 12. An Extra Dry American Lager at 4.0%, this nimble lager is one to watch as an easy beer to pair with food.
Hop BroIn Kichijoji, WCB Light was tapped at BEER MARROW. The 18:00 to 23:00 notice for May 12 makes it feel like a smart move to place a lively lager on the night list.
MugiWhoa, just from the name WCB Light it already sounds light! It feels like something you could drink like juice, but it is still beer, right?
Hop BroIt is definitely beer. And it is an Extra Dry American Lager from West Coast Brewing in Mochimune, Shizuoka. At 4.0%, it goes down smoothly, but the flavor is not too thin, and that is the key point.
MugiExtra dry means a dry beer? Wait, did they put the beer in a dryer or something?!
Hop BroNo, no. It means the sweetness does not linger in your mouth, so the finish is crisp. That is why once you take a sip, you want the next one right away.
MugiI get it! So what about the aroma? If it is only refreshing, it might run into a bit of a not-enough-there problem.
Hop BroThat is the interesting part. The brewery info says it has aromas like honey and toast, with lemon, citrus, and herbal tones layered in, so it is a lager that is light but still has character.
MugiWhoa, honey, toast, and citrus all at once? That is basically a breakfast set already, isn't it?
Hop BroAs a metaphor, that is pretty close. At a beer pub like BEER MARROW, having a beer that pairs with food like this is a big deal. If you slip it in between IPAs, it resets your palate.
MugiTotally! It works as a first beer, and it sounds great with food too. If you're drinking in Kichijoji, it feels like a reassuring tap!
Hop BroExactly. And the post also says Staff: Yusuke, so imagining a glass poured inside the shop makes it even more exciting. Tonight, I want to begin a calm, good night with this drinkable lager.
MugiYeah, just reading about it makes me want to drink it! With a 4.0% light lager like this, I might even be able to have one more!
