Hop BroWhat got tapped at the Tomigaya beer pub, Tamusan, was Open Air Brewing's guest beer "Mikan Gose." It's a 5.5% fruit gose with mandarin aroma, perfect for the season.
MugiWait, a mandarin-scented gose!? A beer with a fruit face is basically cheating!
Hop BroThe thing is, it's not just sweet. It's built on lactic-acid-derived acidity and a gentle saltiness. Then they layer in juice and peel from mikan mandarins to bring out the aroma.
MugiLactic acid is like the yogurt stuff, right? Once you add saltiness too, there's so much flavor information my brain can't keep up!
Hop BroExactly. Lactic acid is what gives a soft tartness. Gose is originally a style that uses salt, so the balance of acidity and saltiness tightens the finish and makes it crisp.
MugiI get it! And mikan mandarins from Wakayama and Ehime prefectures too? They're serious about the source. Suddenly it feels kind of premium!
Hop BroExactly. The post also talks about aromas that evoke memories of mandarins and fruitiness that blends into the spring air, so even though it's a light-drinking beer, it leaves a strong impression.
MugiOhh! Then if you're pairing it with food, salty dishes sound like the move. Fried chicken, edamame, and potatoes would all work!
Hop BroThat's right. Especially at a place like Tamusan, where guest beers are the focus, it's fun to try a characterful pour alongside food.
MugiThen this is the one to watch in Tomigaya right now! I already have a reason to go drink.
Hop BroExactly. It's a beer that wins on substance rather than flash, so it should really hit for anyone who likes to taste the beer itself. At this point, both of us probably want one.
