CRAFT BANK’s "BLOSSOM SYNDICATE" tapped at Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae, updating the 6 taps
On April 28, Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae (Ishihara, Sumida Ward) revealed its current six taps and tapped CRAFT BANK’s (Kyoto) "BLOSSOM SYNDICATE." This spring-only rosé-colored beer is characterized by berry- and citrus-like aromas.
Hop BroAt the beer pub in Ryogoku-Kuramae, CRAFT BANK’s BLOSSOM SYNDICATE has been tapped. That spring-only rosé color is the kind of thing that lifts your mood just by looking at it.
MugiWait, a rosé-colored beer? What is that? And it’s spring-only rosé color too? That sounds like hanami after-party mode!
Hop BroThe style is Hazy Pale Ale, and the nice part is how berry-like notes and citrusy character float together. It’s hazy, but not too heavy.
MugiOhhh, so hazy just means a cloudy beer, right? The kind that looks kind of foggy!
Hop BroExactly, that’s part of the hazy character. This one keeps the bitterness really low, so with its low-bitterness design, it’s easy for people who don’t like bitter beer to get into.
MugiThen I could totally drink that! And if the bar calls it an easy-drinking Hazy, it sounds perfect as the first glass!
Hop BroWhat’s more, the 6 taps that day are interesting, with everything from West Coast IPA to Kölsch and Bitter. The wide range of flavor profiles means you can change your attack depending on your mood.
MugiWhat is that! Start with something gentle, then go in hard after that? Having the first drink be light is basically a lineup made for me!
Hop BroAnd since they’re even suggesting pairing it with pizza, it seems pretty good as a beer with food too. When you hear great with pizza, you suddenly feel thirsty, don’t you?
MugiTotally! If I drank this in Ryogoku-Kuramae, I might never go home! The feeling of wanting to toast right now is completely on point!
