Hop BroOdawara Garage Brewing has brought out a new one called PEEL THE LIES using summer mikan. IPA fans are probably grinning just from the name alone.
MugiWhoa, an IPA with summer mikan already sounds delicious! But PEEL means the peel, right? This feels like it's more than just tossing fruit into beer!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. It's a Citrus IPA with an ABV of 6.5%. The design brings out the aroma of the peel more than the flesh, giving the citrus character a sharp outline.
MugiBring out the peel...? Wait, in beer they suddenly make the peel the star? This feels like a science experiment, and my brain is struggling to keep up!
Hop BroBasically, they're layering hop aroma over the summer mikan to draw out its fragrance. And this time they've increased the hops from last year and reworked the balance with the malt.
MugiOhhh! So it's not just bitter, but it's balancing bright citrus character with drinkability? That makes the hop profile especially interesting!
Hop BroExactly. Summer mikan isn't as widely distributed as amanatsu, but its aroma has a strong personality. That's why a brewery like Odawara Garage Brewing really shines with this kind of local ingredient approach.
MugiUsing local fruit in beer feels wonderful! The people who made it and harvested it would probably be happy too, and it really feels like a beer that belongs to Odawara.
Hop BroThat's exactly it. This beer, announced on Instagram, isn't just another citrus release; what's appealing is that it still has a solid IPA backbone.
MugiThen I think I'll already like it before even drinking it! Refreshing, with bitterness too, but with that summer mikan aroma drifting in softly - that sounds like a aroma-first pint to me!
Hop BroRight? Just imagining it makes my throat want a sip. Tonight, both of us may end up wanting a glass while taking in the aroma of summer mikan.
MugiYeah, I can't hold back anymore! If I find PEEL THE LIES, I definitely want to toast with it!
New Release Is a Citrus IPA That Brings Out the Aroma of Summer Mikan
Odawara Garage Brewing, located at 3-5-19 Sakaecho, Odawara City, Kanagawa Prefecture, introduced its new "PEEL THE LIES" on Instagram. The beer style is Citrus IPA, and the ABV is 6.5%. The post says the brew is centered on the refreshing aroma of summer mikan peel.
Hop and Malt Balance Adjusted
For this batch, the brewery increased the hop dosage from last year and redesigned the balance with the malt. Compared with popular varieties such as ama-na tsu, summer mikan has a smaller distribution volume, but its aromatic character is distinct. By layering that with the crisp outline of an IPA's hops, the brewery has created a beer that aims to balance bright citrus character with satisfying drinkability.
A Beer That Translates Local Ingredients Into the Glass
The post also notes the brewery's hope that the people who grew and harvested the ingredients would feel it was worth making into beer. From the perspective of a brewery rooted in Odawara, this is a notable release for anyone interested in how local fruit can be transformed into beer. With its front-and-center summer mikan aroma and an IPA structure that remains clearly intact, it is likely to catch the attention of beer fans who love citrus-forward aromas.
