Hop BroAt ALE HOUSE Kamiya in Higashi-Umeda, Minoh Beer’s Session Black IPA has been newly tapped. It’s one of those beers that’s dark but surprisingly light.
MugiWait, a dark beer that’s light? What do you mean, dark but easygoing? Isn’t that contradictory?
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. It has the richness of roasted malt, but it doesn’t drink too heavy. The toasted aroma of the malt spreads out softly as you sip it.
MugiRoasted malt, like burnt bread? When you say malt aroma, it makes me hungry!
Hop BroPretty much. And the hop aroma is strong too, with notes of citrus and tropical fruit. Even though it’s a dark beer, that fruity character is very IPA.
MugiThe dark beer world suddenly turned tropical! A fruity black beer is something I’ve never heard of before.
Hop BroEven better, this one is introduced as the little brother of Boss Monkey IPA, the fall and winter release. In other words, it’s positioned as a dark-style IPA that’s easy to choose any time of year.
MugiOh, so it sounds like a good entry point even for dark beer beginners! It seems perfect as an intro to dark beers.
Hop BroExactly. ALE HOUSE Kamiya also does great karaage and meat dishes, and since the B1F location stays open late, a drink with food is the best way to enjoy it. Drinking while watching a game is a solid option too.
MugiJust hearing that makes me want a beer now! Put it on my drink-tonight shortlist, because I want to try the one that goes down smoothly even though it’s dark!
