Hop BroKofu's diagonal just tapped NEW Onigashima IX from Y.Market Brewing. It showed up in the July 30 Instagram post, and that's the kind of update I can't scroll past.
MugiWait, that name alone sounds like a boss battle! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's an 8.0% Hazy IPA. A guest beer from Y.Market Brewing, and the whole point is big aroma pulling you in.
MugiWhoa, but what is Hazy IPA supposed to mean? It suddenly sounds like I'm studying for chemistry.
Hop BroPut simply, it's a cloudy style IPA. It looks hazy, and instead of sharp bitterness, it leans into aroma and juicy drinkability.
MugiOhhh, so tropical aroma means my brain is already on a beach before I even take a sip?
Hop BroPretty much. The article also says it has fresh citrus character, so you get that lush mango-like body with a brighter orange or grapefruit lift.
MugiWhat is this, a fruit parade? And it's the Noboribetsu Beer collab series too, right?
Hop BroExactly. This is the ninth release in the NEW Onigashima series, brewed year after year, so the name carries some real weight now.
MugiOkay, but when they say guest beer, does that mean it's like a visiting all-star instead of the pub's usual lineup?
Hop BroThat's basically it. You really see the tap list personality in choices like this, and honestly, this kind of limited pour already has me wanting a glass.
MugiThen it's settled. Whether it's a first pour or a slow sipper, I want this in Kofu immediately!
