Hop BroA PASSIFIC BREWING can has arrived at Magic Hour Kyodo Branch. The one confirmed this time is "Pacific: Jazz'inn / Passific: Jazz'inn", brewed for the 17th anniversary of the Chigasaki izakaya Que.
MugiWait, a tea sour ale!? Beer with tea in it is already making my brain wobble!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. The style is First Flush Sour, and the ABV is 4.0%. It combines the aroma of Japanese black tea with the sharp acidity of lactic fermentation, so it's lively but still has real character.
MugiFirst flush? What is that, some tea conversation suddenly starting up here?
Hop BroGood question. First flush often refers to the first tea picked in spring, and it tends to have a bright, delicate aroma. By pairing that with sour beer acidity, you get that sweet, calm fragrance rising up.
MugiOhhh! Even though the acidity is pretty firm, it still sounds surprisingly easy to drink!
Hop BroExactly. What's nice is that it seems designed to work from before a meal through the middle of one. It would be good as a light start, and it would also be interesting with spice dishes.
MugiWith curry!? Wouldn't a tea sour just overpower the spice dishes?
Hop BroIf anything, it supports them. Magic Hour Kyodo Branch has six taps of domestic craft beer plus curry and achar, so this can really fits as a bridge between acidity and aroma.
MugiA basement shop with six taps and cans too? Kyodo after-work drinks are getting almost too tempting!
Hop BroDraft beer is great when you want to take your time, but a guest can changes the whole scene. Today I want to open Jazz'inn, order curry, and check out how the acidity and aroma work together.
MugiNow I really want one too! I want the tea sour can and spice dishes as a set!
