Hop BroAichi's Nagakute-based Totopia Brewery has rolled out a new beer called “Cynicalphobia.” This time it’s a West Coast Pilsner, and even the name alone is pretty intriguing, right?
MugiWhoa, Cynicalphobia? What a cool name! It already feels like it’ll have a strong personality before I even taste it!
Hop BroThe style is West Coast Pilsner. It takes the crispness of a pilsner and adds the defined hop character you’d expect from the West Coast. Very modern design.
MugiA pilsner and West Coast? Now we’ve got a which one is it? situation! So what does it actually taste like?
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part. It has a crisp golden body, with herbal notes and toastiness layered on top. Light and refreshing, but still with a clear edge.
MugiOh wow! And the hops are Zeus, Mckenzie, and Wai-iti Hop Kief, right? Even the names sound powerful!
Hop BroExactly. Zeus brings sharpness, Mckenzie adds fruitiness, and Wai-iti Hop Kief gives it extra aromatic depth. On top of that, the white-grape fruit character and dankness really hit the mark.
MugiWhite grape plus dank? I love that mix of elegant but wild! Just smelling it sounds like it could stop the conversation cold!
Hop BroAt 5.0% ABV, it’s easy to drink, so you can enjoy the aroma and still come back for another glass. It’s the kind of beer that wins with smart construction rather than sheer flash.
MugiThey’re also saying B2B starts on May 8 at 15:00, and B2C starts on May 11 at 19:00, so this one definitely isn’t to be missed! Now I’m already in the mood to go grab a drink together!
