World Beer & Dining MIHAMA BASE in Inagekaigan taps West Coast Brewing’s Soul Sunset
On June 4, World Beer & Dining MIHAMA BASE in Inagekaigan added West Coast Brewing’s Soul Sunset to the taps. The hazy pale ale is based on WCB’s early beer Never Enough Bass and brings grapefruit, citrus, tropical fruit, and peach-like notes. The venue also offers bottle and can takeaway.
Hop BroToday I need to talk about Soul Sunset on tap at WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE in Inage-Kaigan. It is a West Coast Brewing pour that makes you want to order on sight.
MugiThat name is dreamy! It sounds like a sunset playlist. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt is a Hazy Pale Ale, a special version based on WCB's early beer Never Enough Bass. Soft texture, easy entry, very inviting.
MugiWhoa, but what does hazy mean? Is that just beer with bedhead that decided not to fix itself?
Hop BroNot at all, it is intentional haze. Think of it as a way to keep hop aroma plush and make the mouthfeel softer, almost juice-like.
MugiWhat, and the article says NZ04 hops inside. That sounds less like an ingredient and more like a classified robot.
Hop BroThat is because it is an experimental hop from @freestylehops. NZ04 brings grapefruit-like citrus, tropical fruit, and even a peachy nuance, which is pretty wild.
MugiPeach too? And with ABV at 5.0%, it sounds super drinkable. But then I saw lactose and my brain jumped straight to chemistry class.
Hop BroLactose adds a gentle sweetness and rounds off the hop bitterness. It is not like drinking milk, more like a quiet support role for the finish.
MugiOkay, and MIHAMA BASE even has takeout bottles and cans, so now I get the hardest choice possible: drink there or bring it home.
Hop BroAnd that day they had nine beers on tap, from GUINNESS to Pizza Port to NEKOBEER. That is the kind of lineup that turns one drink into a strategic failure.
MugiThen it is settled, straight to Inage-Kaigan tonight. I want Soul Sunset in my hand before I start narrating the sunset like a movie trailer.
