FETISH CLUB's ESPER and TECHNO SAISON Arrive at Kitazawa Konishi
Kitazawa Konishi, the beer pub in Daizawa, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, has received FETISH CLUB Yamaguchi Brewery's "ESPER" and "TECHNO SAISON." The former is a DDH WEST COAST IPA wrapped in the worldview of mangaka Yujin, while the latter is a DDH SAISON inspired by YMO's classic album, and both have arrived in limited quantities.
Hop BroTwo guest beers from FETISH CLUB Yamaguchi Brewery have arrived at Kitazawa Konishi in Daizawa. The lineup this time is `ESPER` and `TECHNO SAISON`, and both are pretty tempting, right?
MugiWait, and there are only one or two bottles each!? That's the kind of beer that disappears the moment you see it and pay for it!
Hop Bro`ESPER` is a DDH WEST COAST IPA with an ABV of 6.0%. It layers grapefruit, passion fruit, and pineapple with hints of pear and peach.
MugiWhoa, what does DDH even mean? It sounds like a spell, like the final boss showed up before the beer did!
Hop BroIt stands for double dry hopping. That means hop aroma is added strongly after fermentation, so `ESPER` is a pretty aggressive IPA that brings out fruitiness while keeping the bitterness sharp.
MugiI see! So `TECHNO SAISON` is a futuristic saison? Inspired by a YMO classic album too, that's such a cool idea!
Hop BroExactly. `TECHNO SAISON` is a DDH SAISON 5.5%. White grape, grapefruit, and orange are layered with cinnamon and white pepper, giving it individuality within a dry, saison-like finish.
MugiWhite grape and white pepper? That's basically a dish, not a beer! But that kind of spice sounds like it would be really interesting to drink.
Hop BroSaison's appeal is its dry, crisp drinkability to begin with, so when citrus and spice notes are added, it immediately gains more character. What's nice about these two is that they go in different directions, but both play with aroma.
MugiKitazawa Konishi feels like a reliable beer pub that can handle both everyday pours and guest beers! If bottles like these are on the shelf, I'd want to stop by right away and do a tasting side by side!
