MugiWait, what! Even the name already feels way too mysterious!
Hop BroAnd it’s a sake yeast beer that follows the flow of the Kaze no Mori collaboration.
MugiSake yeast? What does that even mean! So it’s beer with sake-like yeast?
Hop BroExactly. In simple terms, it uses yeast derived from sake, while keeping the ginjo aroma restrained and shaping the overall expression.
MugiOhh, so what does that do to the taste? I heard it’s sweet but sour!
Hop BroThat’s right. It keeps the malt sweetness while bringing up the acidity, creating aromas like honeyed apple and Ramune.
MugiRamune too!? That’s basically a drinkable festival!
Hop BroIt’s 6.0% ABV and 10 IBU, so the bitterness is mild. It’s the kind of beer you sip slowly, and you can enjoy the fine carbonation too.
MugiMakes sense. Finding something like this at a beer pub like Taru Taru is great. A pint in Kawaramachi makes me want to go right now!
Hop BroYeah, it’s perfect for checking out Nara Brewing’s current expression. This is a limited guest pour you won’t want to miss.
