Hop BroAwesome! Pale Ale has been tapped at San.publichouse in Yoyogi-Uehara.
MugiWhoa! It sounds strong just from the name! Just seeing a guest beer debut is exciting!
Hop BroThis time it's from @matsumoto.brewery, a beer from Matsumoto, Nagano, with citrusy hops that really stand out.
MugiWhat do you mean the hops stand out? Does that grapefruit aroma mean there's actual juice in it?
Hop BroNo, it's the aroma from the hops. In other words, it has the brightness of IPA-style hops.
MugiOhhh! But IPA-style beers can seem bitter, so I might hesitate a little. Even though it's a pale ale, is it kind of bold?
Hop BroThat's what's interesting about it: it looks like a pale ale, but the aroma is definitely vibrant. And the malt depth supports it.
MugiSo it's not just light! Having a core in the mouthfeel sounds trustworthy!
Hop BroExactly. It doesn't end with the hops alone; the sweetness and structure of the malt remain. That's why its balance really shines.
MugiIf I can find that one beer at San.publichouse, I want to go too! Tracking the tap lineup sounds way too fun!
Hop BroThen tonight feels like a night for a drink in Yoyogi-Uehara. I want to go drink this one too.
