Hop BroAt MOONRISE KINGDOM in Nishi-Shinjuku, Y.MARKET's new tap has opened. And today it's Over Drive IPA - that's a dream setup for beer lovers.
MugiWait! That sounds fast just from the name! Does Over Drive mean something like flooring the accelerator in a car?
Hop BroExactly, and it's also got the playful spirit of the effector series behind it. Inside is an IPA made with five kinds of American hops, and the key point is the crisp citrus aroma.
MugiWhat? The moment you say American hops, it suddenly gets technical! What does the outline of the hops mean?
Hop BroSimply put, it means the aroma and bitterness don't blur together and come through clearly. So the grapefruit-like aroma and gentle bitterness come forward smoothly.
MugiI see! And if the malt has a hint of sweetness, it doesn't sound too bitter and seems easy to drink! Even IPA beginners could handle that, right?
Hop BroExactly. Even though the aroma is aggressive, the base is well put together, so you can enjoy it as a well-balanced IPA. It's strong as both a first and second drink.
MugiNow I'm curious about the snacks too! The moment I heard BBQ steak tacos, I wanted to order them with the beer!
Hop BroThey go well together. Garlic shrimp and Mexican steak are good matches too, and if you want something lighter, switching things up with strawberry bruschetta is interesting as well.
MugiWhat, they even have dessert-like dishes! Then you just keep drinking and eating. And if they also have three permanent domestic taps, comparing drinks is kind of unfair!
Hop BroAnd it's at 1F Tenku MURA on 6-12-16 Nishi-Shinjuku, so you can go for both lunch and dinner. For a drink around Golden Week, this is the kind of place that makes you want to go all in on both taps and bottles.
MugiI can't take it anymore, just reading this makes me thirsty! I want to toast right now and have the Over Drive IPA with tacos!
Y.MARKET's new tap in Nishi-Shinjuku
At MOONRISE KINGDOM (Nishi-Shinjuku), which opened on Tuesday, April 28, Y.MARKET's "Over Drive IPA" was newly added. The post introduced it as a pairing with the effector series "Over Drive," and presented it as an IPA brewed with five kinds of American hops. It is characterized by citrus aromas reminiscent of grapefruit and orange, a gentle bitterness, and a malt balance that is simple yet faintly sweet, making it a beer for people who want to enjoy the outline of the hops.
Food to pair with it
Today's recommended food includes BBQ steak tacos, Mexican steak, strawberry bruschetta, garlic shrimp, and house-made basil pasta. The citrus character and bitterness of the IPA pair well with BBQ and garlicky dishes, and lining it up with tacos or steak makes it easy to keep drinking. If you want something light to snack on, bruschetta with a fruity accent also seems like a good match.
