Hakuto Brewing Releases "FRUITY COFFEE IPA" Made with Light-Roasted Coffee
Hakuto Brewing (Murayama City, Yamagata Prefecture) has released "FRUITY COFFEE IPA" made with light-roasted specialty coffee from Rabbit Village Coffee. The alcohol content is 6.5%. It will be available in the online store from April 24 and in stores from April 25.
Hop BroToday, let's talk about FRUITY COFFEE IPA. Hakuto Brewing has released a beer that makes both coffee lovers and beer lovers smile.
MugiWait, what! An IPA with coffee? Isn't that like having a morning wake-up call and a nighttime treat in one?
Hop BroExactly. And since it's a Hazy IPA, it's not just about bitterness; it's the kind you enjoy for its aroma and soft, cloudy mouthfeel.
MugiOhh! But what is hazy? If it's a cloudy beer, is it enough for it to just look a little fuzzy?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's designed to push the hop aroma forward, with the haze helping create that juicy feel. The key this time is that it's aimed toward peach and citrus aromas.
MugiThat sounds fun! If light-roasted coffee gets added in there, it suddenly feels like an adult fruit juice!
Hop BroExactly, and the berry-like nuances from Rabbit Village Coffee's light-roasted specialty coffee are layered in. The interesting part is that they're not just adding coffee; they're pairing the aromas together.
MugiOh, so it melts together in the same glass? That sounds like a science experiment where the only result is something delicious.
Hop BroWhat's more, Hakuto Brewing is a brewery in Murayama City, Yamagata Prefecture, and it has an attached coffee shop. So it can directly bring the intersection of beer and coffee into the flavor.
MugiI see, so even the background story tastes good! At 6.5%, it should feel nicely substantial, and you can savor the aroma slowly.
Hop BroSales are already moving, too: online from April 24 and in stores from April 25. Those are the dates when you can try both the fruitiness and the coffee character.
MugiNice, I wanted to drink it the moment I read this! I want to check it out right now, and today's dinner is probably going to be decided by this beer talk.
Hakuto Brewing's new release is FRUITY COFFEE IPA. It's a `alc. 6.5%` hazy IPA using light-roasted specialty coffee from @rabbit_village_coffee_.
According to the post, the hop aroma is tuned toward peach and citrus, with berry-like nuances from the coffee layered on top. Rather than simply adding coffee flavor, it is designed so fruitiness and coffee character blend smoothly in the same glass.
The brewery behind this beer, Hakuto Brewing, is based in Murayama City, Yamagata Prefecture. One of its notable features is that it also has an attached coffee shop, and this release can be seen as a beer that makes use of that environment. What gives the brewery its character is how it brings the meeting point of beer and coffee into the design of aroma and flavor.
Sales are in two stages: available from April 24 in the online store and from April 25 in stores. How did they layer coffee expression onto the drinkability of a Hazy IPA? For people interested in both craft beer and specialty coffee, this is a new release worth paying attention to.
