RIKRI BREWING Taps Hazy IPA "DOGGG RACE," a Pour That Carries On from "CORGI LEGS"
RIKRI BREWING introduced its Hazy IPA "DOGGG RACE." Using the same double mash as the previous release "CORGI LEGS," it was designed with wheat and oats raised to about 50% to emphasize white peach, nectarine, and mango-like fruit character along with a silky mouthfeel.
Hop BroThe new release from RIKRI BREWING in Takaban, Meguro Ward, DOGGG RACE, is a Hazy IPA that really catches my interest.
MugiWhoa, even the name sounds fast! But Hazy IPA is the one that's kind of cloudy and fluffy, right?
Hop BroExactly, and this time it follows CORGI LEGS with the same double-mash design.
MugiDouble mash? What is that, some kind of two-round crushing ritual? That sounds a little scary!
Hop BroBasically, it’s a brewing method that saccharifies the malt in two stages to aim for more body and depth. This time they’ve raised the wheat and oats to about 50%, making the mouthfeel much softer.
MugiHuh! Then the silky mouthfeel sounds like it would come first. At this point it sounds less like beer and more like a gentle blanket?
Hop BroPretty close. The aroma centers on white peach, nectarine, mango, and mandarin orange, with Galaxy and Citra Cryo pushing out that juicy fruit character.
MugiThat sounds delicious! But Nelson Sauvin and Amarillo all of a sudden? The hop spell list is getting pretty intense!
Hop BroNelson Sauvin adds a white-grape character, and Amarillo brings in a bright orange-like note. So it’s not just sweetness; there’s a real balance, with bitterness to finish it off too.
MugiI see, and with 7.0% ABV and this much satisfaction, it’s definitely one you want to savor slowly.
Hop BroAnd the fact that the name comes from a RAU DEF song is pretty stylish too. It has the kind of deep design intent RIKRI BREWING is known for, and now I definitely want another pour.
MugiYeah, after hearing all that, I want to drink it too! Let’s use the DOGGG RACE tap opening as our excuse and raise a glass!
RIKRI BREWING's New Hazy IPA
RIKRI BREWING in Takaban, Meguro Ward, in the Gakugeidaigaku area, is announcing its Hazy IPA "DOGGG RACE." This recipe, like the previous "CORGI LEGS," uses a double mash, with wheat and oats raised to about 50% of the total grist. It is a beer that strongly emphasizes the smoothness hidden beneath the haze and a soft mouthfeel.
The aroma is centered on fruit impressions such as white peach, nectarine, mango, and mandarin orange. Galaxy and Citra Cryo bring the juicy sweetness to the forefront, while Amarillo adds a bright orange-like character. Nelson Sauvin contributes white grape notes and a subtle herbal touch, creating layers that keep it from becoming one-dimensional.
On the palate, the silky texture from the oats and wheat spreads out, making it an easy beer to keep drinking as the fruit character wraps around you. The bitterness plays the role of tightening everything up, so it delivers balanced enjoyment all the way through rather than leaning only into juiciness. ABV is 7.0%.
