Noboribetsu Jibeer Onidensetsu taps new Kinki Pale Ale TALUS single version
Noboribetsu Jibeer Onidensetsu in Hokkaido says it has kegged a new batch of Kinki Pale Ale, TALUS single version. The beer is listed at 5.5% ABV and 40 IBU, with a tasting comparison against Luminosad Single also mentioned.
Hop BroToday's Hokkaido topic is a fresh Oni Densetsu batch. Noboribetsu Jig Beer Oni Densetsu just finished kegging Kin-Oni Pale Ale TALUS Single Ver.
MugiWhat! That name sounds intense! Kin-Oni already feels like a final boss, but what even is TALUS?
Hop BroTALUS is the hop variety, and single-hop format means they're putting that one hop in the spotlight. Expect citrus, pineapple, and even a little coconut.
MugiNo way! And it says you can compare it with Luminosa single too? This suddenly sounds like a wizard duel!
Hop BroThat's the fun part, a hop-to-hop showdown. TALUS and Luminosa should show different aromas and a different shape to the bitterness.
MugiOkay... so with ABV 5.5% and IBU 40, what do those numbers suggest when you actually drink it?
Hop BroABV 5.5% gives it body without getting heavy, and IBU 40 means firm bitter structure. Then the dry finish keeps it crisp instead of sweet and cloying.
MugiDry, bitter, and pineapple? My brain is crowded! And 'good retronasal aroma' sounds like my nose is hosting a concert.
Hop BroPretty much, retronasal flavor is that aroma floating back up through your nose after a sip. Bright and fruity, but still sharp and clean. That's very Oni Densetsu.
MugiWhoa, now I need it! Comparison tasting chance and it's almost gone? That is not a situation for staying calm.
Hop BroThey'll even take orders by SNS post, message, or email, so the buying path is clear. At this point, I really want to start with the TALUS version.
MugiSettled then, my mind is already in Hokkaido. I want a glass now, and I want the Luminosa beside it for the side-by-side!
