Hop BroSakamichi Brewing in Tachikawa introduced it, and West Coast Brewing's new 'Full Hop Alchemist r8' is really interesting because the hops are so layered.
MugiWhoa! Just the name 'Full Hop Alchemist r8' sounds intense! And it's a Hazy Double IPA, so it already feels like it's going to be rich!
Hop BroExactly, and with 8.5% alcohol, it definitely has some heft. Even though it looks hazy, the inside is incredibly carefully designed.
MugiCarefully designed? What does that even mean! I thought beer was made on instinct? The recipe composition is like a lab experiment!
Hop BroWhat they did was build it around Citra Hyperboost, then use Krush and Nectaron for the dry hop. On top of that, they layer Mosaic and Strata, which gives the aroma real depth.
MugiLayers aren't just for clothes!? But if orange and grapefruit lead into mango and peach, that sounds so much like a fruit parfait!
Hop BroThat's actually a pretty good way to put it. It starts with the brightness of citrus, then tropical sweetness spreads across the palate, and finally it ends with a crisp grassy bitterness.
MugiThat grassy bitterness at the end feels a little more grown-up! But hearing sharp finish makes it sound like it's not just sweet all the way through, which is nice.
Hop BroThat's the fun of a Hazy Double IPA. Sakamichi Brewing is also pushing an early check-in, and beers like this really do tend to disappear fast.
MugiI get it, just reading this makes me want to drink it already! Tonight, let's crack open a beer that chases the aroma together!
