MugiWhoa, it already sounds delicious from the name alone! What kind of beer is it - that Session IPA style?
Hop BroExactly. It is easy to drink at 4.0% ABV, and even though it is light, the aroma really comes through.
MugiWhat is that! Light but aromatic? That is like the beer world's two-sword style.
Hop BroAnd the fruit is the star too - it uses Hime Madonna and yuzu from Iyo City.
MugiHime Madonna sounds like a princess! Add yuzu on top of that, and the citrus aroma is basically in full blast.
Hop BroThe frozen-aged fruit is cold-pressed and then pasteurized at low temperature before being added, so the freshness gets sealed in as it is.
MugiI sort of get cold-pressing, but low-temperature pasteurization suddenly sounds very serious! Still, that is what keeps the fresh feel intact, right?
Hop BroThe hops are also a four-hop blend of Amarillo, Azacca, Cascade, and Centennial, and the citrus and crisp layers stack together beautifully.
MugiAnd if the weekly pasta is spaghetti with spring cabbage, then I definitely want to order them as a set!
Hop BroThe richness of the polpettini and the acidity of the tomato go well with this beer. For a day when you want to drink from lunchtime in the Chiba Station area, it is pretty dangerous.
MugiDangerously tempting! Today, if someone tells me it is a beer that pairs with food, I have no choice but to drink it!
At the beer pub Beer O'clock in Chuo Ward, Chiba City, Garyu Brewing's Session IPA "Afternoon Gold" has been newly tapped. With an alcohol content of 4.0%, it is a light, easy-drinking style, yet one that still delivers clear layers of fruit-derived aroma and hop character.
This beer uses "Hime Madonna" from Iyo City and yuzu from Ozu City. The fruit is frozen for aging, then cold-pressed and pasteurized at low temperature before being added, preserving its fresh citrus quality as it is. The hops are Amarillo, Azacca, Cascade, and Centennial, a four-hop blend. It combines the crispness typical of a Session IPA with refreshing acidity and layered aroma.
At Beer O'clock, the weekly pasta has also been updated to "Spaghetti with Polpettini and spring cabbage." It is a dish of polpettini made with Hayashi SPF pork from Hirano Yotojo in Kisarazu, paired with the richness of Pecorino cheese and the acidity of tomato, making it easy to imagine alongside this guest beer with its citrus notes. It is the kind of beer that suits a day when you want to enjoy craft beer slowly with a meal in the Chiba Station area.
The shop is a beer pub that also serves lunch, and its appeal lies in the relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy to stop by. When a Session IPA like this, which pairs well with food, comes in, it adds another way to enjoy yourself when you want a change from your usual go-to pint.
