OUR BREWING releases Starmine, a summer Hazy IPA
Fukui-based OUR BREWING has introduced Starmine, a new summer Hazy IPA. The beer is described as bringing peach, coconut, orange, and mango-like aromas, with a silky mouthfeel and a label inspired by summer fireworks.
Hop BroHere’s a good summer topic: OUR BREWING in Fukui just released a summer seasonal Hazy IPA called Starmine.
MugiWhat, that name sounds intense! Is it basically a fireworks-themed beer? Like, does it explode in your mouth?
Hop BroThat’s actually pretty close to the image. This new Starmine release is a 365ml can, 6.5% ABV, and 37.1 IBU, brewed as a Hazy IPA.
MugiHold on, what is IBU 37.1 supposed to mean? It sounds like a test score and now I’m nervous!
Hop BroIBU is a rough measure of bitterness. But this one is built around peach and mango aromas, with orange and coconut-like notes coming through too.
MugiNo way, that already sounds like a tropical vacation! But what do they mean by silky mouthfeel? Are we talking beer or fancy fabric?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. The hop oils and oat malt effect make it feel soft and smooth on the palate, without turning it into a messy juice bomb.
MugiThat’s weirdly elegant! And the brewer said they kept the dry hopping restrained, right? Why hold back if you want big aroma?
Hop BroThat’s the brewer move right there. To avoid the astringency hazy IPAs can get, they loaded the hot side for aroma structure and kept the finish more cohesive.
MugiSo it’s not just flashy, it’s designed to drink well too. And they’ve got a taproom in FUKUMACHI in Fukui? That’s dangerously good news.
Hop BroYeah, drinking it while looking at that fireworks label feels like instant summer. I’m expecting a beautifully balanced pour that makes you want a second can right away.
MugiThen it’s settled. I want to toast with Starmine immediately and find out for myself if the peachy aroma and silky texture really hit like that!
Product Overview
Fukui-based craft brewery OUR BREWING has introduced `Starmine`, a new Hazy IPA available in 365 ml cans through its official online store. The beer comes in at 6.5% ABV and 37.1 IBU.
Flavor Design
According to the product page, Starmine is built around tropical aromas that evoke peach, coconut, orange, and mango. The brewery also highlights a silky texture created by hop oil and oats. The label features summer fireworks, tying the name "Starmine" to the idea of aromas bursting out one after another.
In the brewer's comment, the team says it aimed to keep the bitterness and rough edges that can appear in Hazy IPAs under control. Rather than relying too heavily on dry hopping, it focused more on hot-side hopping to shape the aroma. The result appears to be a recipe designed for balance as well as impact.
