Hop BroHimitsu Beer in Ise City, Mie Prefecture, has dropped another interesting one. The new Wanistachio is a Weizen made with pistachios.
MugiWait! Wanistachio sounds fierce, but it's pistachio? I can't tell if it's cute or wild!
Hop BroThe style is Pistachio Weizen. It's a Weizen with banana and clove aromas, layered with pistachio's nutty character.
MugiWhat is that! Banana and clove make it sound like a spice rack, even though it's beer? But it sounds delicious...!
Hop BroWeizen yeast creates esters and phenols, which bring out banana-like and clove-like aromas. Then the pistachio adds a toasty layer on top.
MugiOhhh! So it's like adding up aromas. I understand it in theory, but I feel like drinking it would make it even harder to explain!
Hop BroAnd it's a 5.5% ABV beer, brewed to be refreshing and dry for the warming days of May. It has plenty of crispness, but still keeps a solid depth.
MugiThat's perfect! If it's refreshing and dry, it's the kind of thing you'd want to drink even in the daytime. And pistachio feels a little rich, which makes it extra exciting!
Hop BroEven the way the post opens feels very Himitsu Beer, starting with a quail egg story. It's funny how they jump to the idea that supermarket eggs might include fertilized ones.
MugiWait, they start a beer introduction with eggs?! But I kind of like that kind of humorous opening. It gets me excited before I even drink it!
Hop BroThey even suggest pairings, saying it should go well with more pistachios, a bite of chocolate, or sauteed asparagus, which is in season right now.
MugiThat's basically an appetizer planning meeting! Sauteed asparagus sounds great, and I'm curious about the chocolate too. One glass won't be enough!
Hop BroThe label was designed by @baxsmus_chiezoo, so the playfulness carries through to the look as well. You can also feel Himitsu Beer's connection to land and ingredients, so this is definitely one worth going out to drink.
MugiYeah, the name, the flavor, and the whole story are all interesting! I'm getting a pretty strong I want to drink this right now feeling!
Himitsu Beer in Ise City, Mie Prefecture, has released a new pistachio-flavored beer, `Wanistachio`. The style is `Pistachio Weizen`, and the ABV is 5.5%. It is a beer that co-ferments pistachios with a Weizen yeast that produces banana and clove aromas, creating a layered nutty flavor.
The post also opens with a humorous digression about wanting to warm supermarket quail eggs and hatch them. It says that supermarket quail eggs can sometimes include fertilized eggs, so if things go well they might hatch. The brewery even jokes that there would be no problem feeding them because so much beer spent grain is produced, making for a characteristically playful Himitsu Beer introduction.
The main attraction, `Wanistachio`, is described as having a "refreshing and dry" character that fits the growing heat of May. Yeast-derived esters and the aroma of pistachio come together, giving it a crisp mouthfeel while still leaving some body behind. The post also suggests ways to enjoy it: pairing it with more pistachios, having a bite of chocolate before drinking, or matching it with sauteed asparagus, which is in season right now. The label design was handled by @baxsmus_chiezoo.
