Hop BroAt Saiogauma in Sannomiya, Brasserie a Route's "Track 4" is being offered as a guest beer. A beer that connects Kobe to Kobe makes me happy all by itself.
MugiWait, Track 4 sounds like a train line! And a Kobe-to-Kobe connection? That already feels like it has some drama behind it!
Hop BroThe thing is, it's a Mosaic single-hop beer. When you narrow it down to one hop variety, that variety's character comes through clearly, so the aroma's outline is easy to grasp.
MugiSo single means it's using just one kind? That has the clean, no-frills feel of a dish made with only salt!
Hop BroExactly, and because it's a DDH Pale Ale, the layering of aroma is well done. With double dry hopping, they really bring out the hops after fermentation and push the aroma forward.
MugiWhat is that! Double dry hop sounds strong just from the name!
Hop BroSimply put, instead of adding bitterness through heat, it's a method that layers hop aroma in at the finish. The good thing about "Track 4" is that it aims for a young-leaf-like aroma and a crisp, clean finish.
MugiOhhh! So that's what springlike means. With a crisp finish, it sounds like something you could keep gulping even if the hops are strong!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, even though it uses hops at a level close to an IPA, the style lands as a Pale Ale. It's interesting because it's not too heavy, yet it still has plenty of body, so it's a nicely balanced push.
MugiI see, so it's one that hits both aroma-focused drinkers and bitterness lovers. That's the kind of beer that makes you want another round!
Hop BroExactly. If you're looking for your first drink in Sannomiya, it's definitely appealing as part of the guest tap fun, and it's also perfect for taking a close look at the hop character.
MugiI can't take it anymore, I want to drink it right now! Let's head to Saiogauma and check out "Track 4" today, side by side with Hop-senpai!
A guest beer announcement was posted by the beer pub "Saiogauma" in the Sannomiya area of Kobe.
In an Instagram post, the phrase "They're connected." accompanied the introduction of Brasserie a Route (Kobe)'s "Track 4". The beer is a DDH Pale Ale made with Mosaic hops alone, designed for spring and lavishly using 2025-harvest Mosaic hops. It is described as a style aimed at keeping a balance between bitterness and aroma, while delivering a hoppy impression reminiscent of fresh leaves and new buds, along with a clean, crisp finish.
In terms of taste, the defining feature is that it uses hop amounts comparable to an IPA while keeping the style within the Pale Ale category. It has the layered aroma that comes from DDH (Double Dry Hop), yet is structured so it does not become too heavy, making it likely to appeal both to people who prioritize aroma and to those who want a bitter beer.
