Yorocco Beer’s “Delight Called Quest” arrives at SENNE in Hatagaya
SENNE - セネ -, a beer pub in Hatagaya, Tokyo, is now pouring Yorocco Beer’s “Delight Called Quest” as a guest beer. The release is tied to YAMATOUMI farm&distill and eatrip soil, and it comes as a gin barrel-finished saison at 5% ABV.
Hop BroSENNE in Hatagaya just tapped a Yorocco Beer guest called "Delight Called Quest," and the name alone already feels like an adventure.
MugiWhat! Delight Called Quest sounds like a game title. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt’s a gin-barrel-finished saison. Yorocco Beer made it through a collaboration connected to Nagano’s YAMATOUMI farm&distill and the eatrip soil project.
MugiWait, gin-barrel finish? What is that? That phrase already sounds like a test I forgot to study for!
Hop BroSimple version: it’s aroma from a gin barrel. Finishing the saison in a barrel once used for gin adds soft herbal and botanical notes.
MugiOoh! So it’s a beer with changing expressions. If the flavor shifts as it warms up, that’s basically a two-stage transformation!
Hop BroExactly, and 5% ABV keeps it light. You get saison’s dry snap plus barrel depth, so it goes down easily but still gives you plenty to talk about.
MugiThat sounds amazing! And hearing soil Minna no Yorocobeer makes it feel like this beer comes with a whole friendship storyline!
Hop BroThat’s part of the appeal. It comes from a two-year project, and this release marks a milestone. Having a story-rich saison like that at a calm pub in Hatagaya is big news.
MugiI officially have a reason to visit SENNE now. The second you say botanical aroma, my mouth starts showing up for work!
Hop BroThen there’s only one ending: I want a glass now. "Delight Called Quest" is basically telling us to head to Hatagaya and accept the quest.
