Overview of The Cauldron #3

The Cauldron #3 is an American DIPA brewed by Mahoubrew. It is listed with batch number 0071, ABV 8.0%, IBU 84, FG 1.011, and SRM 7. From those figures, it appears to be a recipe aiming to balance a firm hop profile with enough body to support a satisfying drinking experience.

Mahoubrew is a brewery based in Tsuboya, Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture. Tsuboya is known as the center of Okinawa's yachimun pottery culture, and the brewery draws on that local craft spirit while emphasizing beer making with a strong commitment to quality. Since obtaining its liquor manufacturing license on June 24, 2024, it has released a wide range of styles, including IPA, gose, and lager.

Within that lineup, The Cauldron #3 is positioned as a DIPA that lets hop character take center stage. In addition to the strong backbone typical of an American DIPA, its FG of 1.011 suggests a design that does not rely only on alcohol strength, but also pays close attention to balance on the palate. As a new limited release from Mahoubrew in Tsuboya, it is likely to attract the attention of hop lovers.
