Hop BroMugi, a weekend target just landed from Kasukabe. New UNLOCKED HAZY:02 starts on Saturday, July 18, and this one looks worth chasing.
MugiWhat! Unlock Brew Base already sounds powerful. So what kind of beer is it?
Hop BroThe style is Hazy IPA. It has that cloudy look and a juicy profile where the aroma really blooms.
MugiHuh! But what does hazy mean? Is it just pale and cloudy, or is there more going on?
Hop BroThere is, and that part matters. The key is a juicy mouthfeel, so it is not overly bitter and the aroma comes through in a softer way.
MugiGot it! Then that ABV 5.5% from the article, is that a danger zone or actually pretty friendly?
Hop BroFor craft beer, 5.5% is a balanced strength. Plenty of aroma, but not so heavy that it wears you out.
MugiAnd pineapple plus pear? That is basically a tropical fruit festival! The glass is already on vacation before I am.
Hop BroThat is the good part. Tropical aroma layered with soft sweetness, then finished with an easy-drinking feel, that is the whole move here.
MugiHow is that even fair? Easy-drinking finish with all that aroma sounds illegal in the best way. I already want a pour on July 18.
Hop BroAs a first beer of the weekend, hazy fans win for sure. It also sounds like a great entry point for newer craft drinkers.
MugiSettled then. I want it tomorrow so badly that I am ready to schedule the cheers before the glass even arrives!
