Kanagawa-based Garapago Racing announced on Instagram that it is releasing a new farmhouseIPA. In the post, while saying "garapago means saison," it explained that the origin of the beer lies in a farmhouse ale it drank at Commons in Portland before it started brewing. Building on the flow that has positioned saison as its flagship, this time it presents the new beer as a farmhouse style combined with NZ hops.

The flavor description is specific: in addition to impressions of banana, lime, and grapefruit, the finish emphasizes a strong bitterness. While saying it is "not a flavor that was deliberately designed," the brewery expressed confidence in the result, introducing it as a glass that appeals to saison fans while adding the "drinkability of an IPA." As a seasonal note, the post also included a comment that it should be enjoyed during pollen season.

The post hashtags also included `#ホノボーノ松田` and `#hobar松田`, which are worth noting as touchpoints and potential serving connections. As of the time the post was captured, it showed "65 likes / 0 comments."

On the brewery's official site, Garapago Racing is introduced as "a brewery in Kaisei Town." While retaining a local Kanagawa base, this new release clearly connects saison-derived context with contemporary hop expression, making it a release that succinctly shows the brewery's direction.
