Hop BroBreaking news! Yamanashi's Uchu Brewing is releasing its new "Uchu Deluxe Citra" on Wednesday, March 11 at 7:00 PM.
MugiWhoa! The name alone sounds cosmic! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's a TDH DIPA at 8.5% ABV. It uses Citra and Cryo Citra, and its selling points are a rich mouthfeel and a long finish.
MugiWhat is that, some kind of spell? And is Cryo frozen beer?!
Hop BroSounds magical, but it's okay. DIPA is an IPA with a stronger hop presence, and TDH is a design with a much heavier hop dose. Cryo Citra is a hop that concentrates the aromatic compounds, making it even more vibrant.
MugiOhhh! So it's like the aroma really comes crashing in?
Hop BroExactly. And in the brewers' notes, they also say they use hop extracts called Incognito and Spectrum, so they're really pushing the flavor density higher.
MugiIncognito!? That sounds like a spy movie! This is basically a secret weapon, not beer!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, they build out the whole world with a "Uchu Deluxe" luxury resort setting, which is so typical of Uchu Brewing. The flavor and the story are both hop-forward, that's the idea.
MugiAmazing! March 11 at 7:00 PM, I'm waiting for the online store! I want to go on this intense Citra space trip right now!
