Hop BroAt Beer shop Llama in Mitaka, VERTERE's "Eugenia" has been tapped. It's an NZ IPA loaded with New Zealand hops, and it's a pretty aromatic beer.
MugiWhoa! New Zealand hops sound like some seriously Southern Hemisphere magic! What does it taste like?
Hop BroIt layers aromas of fig, dried fruit, and muskmelon, with a bubblegum nuance on top. And at 7.0% ABV, it's got real heft too.
MugiBubblegum? Is there actually bubblegum in the beer? So it smells kind of like candy?
Hop BroExactly, not actual gum, of course. The combination of fermentation and hop aromas can give off a sweet aromatic impression.
MugiI see! And with the thickness from the malt and lactose, it says the mouthfeel is smooth - that's really appealing!
Hop BroThe taps in the shop are interesting too. From smoothie sours to Hefeweizens, IPAs, and stouts, there are nine beers on tap.
MugiWow, that's a huge range! Then I think I'd start by comparing the fruit beers and work my way up to the dark beers!
Hop BroThat's a good way to go. For example, if you line up Kanpai!'s smoothie sour and Let's Beer Works' Hefeweizen, the differences in aroma become really easy to pick out.
MugiBeer shop Llama is easy to get to from the station in Shimorenjaku, Mitaka City, and the fact that you can just drop in for one drink is perfect!
Hop BroIf you start with Eugenia and work through the lineup, you'll notice both the hop expression and the malt depth. Today is clearly a perfect day for a tasting flight, so shall we have a drink?
MugiAgreed! Let's start with Eugenia and begin our aromatic journey!
