Hop BroToday's new-release news is pretty hot: Mahou Brew's Cleopatra #2 release is here.
MugiWhoa! That name sounds powerful! I want to know what kind of beer it is in one sip!
Hop BroThe style is Imperial Gose, and the specs are ABV 9.0% / IBU 10. It's definitely a beer with serious body.
MugiWhat is that! Imperial Gose sounds like a spell, and my mouth can't keep up!
Hop BroSimply put, gose is defined by salt and sourness, and imperial means a stronger, higher-ABV version. In other words, they're aiming for rich but refreshing.
MugiOhhh! So the contents are full-on tropical too? Is it extra Okinawan vibes?
Hop BroExactly. They've layered Okinawan pineapple, kabuchii, Yagaji Island sea salt, and even karaki, making it a multi-layered batch 0067 recipe.
MugiSo much info! And it's the second Beer Bomb collab, so being the second batch of an anniversary collaboration is awesome!
Hop BroWhat's more, the FERMO Brew Acid yeast shapes the acidity, and coconut aromatic water adds aroma, so the design really brings out a harmony of sweet, sour, salty, and spice.
MugiYeast can change that much!? This is basically science class! But just imagining it is making my throat react!
Hop BroThere's still no listed sale date, so checking the official site is a must, but this is definitely one you'd want to grab immediately if you find it.
MugiIt's settled! If you spot it in stock, let me know. Tonight's mood is already tropical gose and a toast!
