Hop BroI want to start with the beer making noise in Komae: Purple Finch at ENJOY Coffee&Beer.
MugiWait, that name is adorable! A 5th anniversary beer already sounds dangerous for my wallet.
Hop BroBrewed by Inkhorn Brewing, it's a 7.5% American IPA, so it's here to make a statement.
MugiOoh, so is that a pretty serious pour or still easy to enjoy?
Hop BroIt has real body, but the berry notes, sweet-leaning citrus, and even muskmelon land in a balanced fruit profile.
MugiMuskmelon too? That's a very busy hop resume and my taste buds need a meeting.
Hop BroAnd there's also a little piney, dank character; that dank hop note means a deep, green, resinous aroma.
MugiWhat is that even supposed to smell like, green resin vibes or just your brewer brain showing off again?
Hop BroMore like a foresty, slightly resinous edge, with moderate bitterness keeping it in a very drinkable shape.
MugiOkay, that's good chaos then. Not just sweet and loud, but actually tidy, which feels like a Komae detour worth making.
Hop BroExactly, it has that celebratory feel without losing Inkhorn's clarity, so it's a guest tap worth chasing.
MugiFine, I'm sold. Now I really want us both ordering a fresh Purple Finch tonight.
