急な秋の訪れに動揺を隠せない。ただ、一つ言えるのは、日本のこの季節の空気感・香り・心地よさ、すべてがHop Dudeたちは大好きだということ。一年を通してハイペースで新作を造り続ける我々だからこそ、それぞれのシーズンに特化したレシピを組むことは、とても大事にしている。

WCBロゴシリーズ、駆け抜けるように第4弾!いよいよ日暮れも早まり、夜の一杯がスタートする時間も早くなりそうな秋。これから冬の顔も見え隠れし始める今にピッタリなのは、WCB初リリースの『The Schwartz』。

キャラメルや蜂蜜、コーヒーにトーストしたパンを連想させるアロマ。ドライフルーツやメロンにリコリス、アニスの印象も。軽い甘みとほのかな苦みが漂い、マイルドでスパイシーな口当たり。

暖かい部屋で飲む香ばしモルティー&すっきりラガーのビールはきっと、時間が経つのを忘れさせてくれる。

Ladies and Gents, It’s officially dark lager time. Hop Dude lager aficionados are ringing in the fall with “The Schwartz” our first ever take on a dark classic, schwarzbier. Lightly roasted coffee feels with hints of milk chocolate and dark fruit in an easy to consume low ABV elixir format—helllll yes. We may not end up comparing the size of our Schwartz, but we will end up having a damn good time taking it down. If and when, the next iteration we will def aim for a touch more bitterness, but for now we’ll gladly take the roasty drinkability.

Aroma of malt, chocolate, light roasting, citrus, bread, slight meaty edge. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness. Light to moderate body, oily and watery, average carbonation. A little bland but okay.
