Y.MARKET BREWING's Over Drive IPA and Pale Ale Arrive at Beer Cellar Ichinomiya
The beer pub Beer Cellar Ichinomiya in Ichinomiya City, Aichi Prefecture, announced on Instagram that it had received canned beers from Y.MARKET BREWING. The lineup includes `Over Drive IPA` and `Over Drive Pale Ale`, offering a chance to compare the two beers in the same series.
Hop BroAichi City's beer pub, Beer Cellar Ichinomiya, just got in canned beers from Y.MARKET BREWING. This time it's the `Over Drive IPA` and `Over Drive Pale Ale` side by side, so the tasting comparison is the big story.
MugiWhoa! Being able to compare beers from the same series is such a fun setup! I want to try both, but just the names already sound intense...!
Hop Bro`Over Drive IPA` is an American IPA with ABV 6.0% / IBU 37.9. Grapefruit and orange citrus lead the way, the bitterness is firm, and the finish is clean and dry.
MugiWait, what's IBU? Is a higher number like making your mouth pucker more? This is starting to feel like a science experiment!
Hop BroExactly. IBU is a measure of bitterness. `Over Drive IPA` has a really clear hop presence, so it's the kind of beer that appeals to people who like defined bitterness.
MugiOhhh! So `Over Drive Pale Ale` must be a little gentler? Hearing malt sweetness suddenly makes it sound much easier to drink!
Hop BroThat's right. `Over Drive Pale Ale` is an American Pale Ale with ABV 5.5% / IBU 18.95. Soft bitterness layers over citrus aroma, and a slight malt sweetness supports the whole beer.
MugiNo way, even though it's the same `Over Drive`, the personalities are totally different. That's a deep tasting rabbit hole! IPA feels crisp, while Pale Ale sounds smooth and easy-drinking, right?
Hop BroExactly. And since `Over Drive` is a series themed around effect pedals, it's fun to imagine the flavor through an audio image. The IPA feels like the guitar is front and center, while the Pale Ale blends in a little more from the back.
MugiI see! It seems perfect for a post-rain pint, and it would be fun to line up two cans at home too. If you drank while checking the difference in aroma, you'd never stop talking!
Hop BroIn the end, on a day like this, either ordering them at Beer Cellar Ichinomiya or comparing them carefully at home is the right move. Now I'm in the mood to drink both cans.
Beer Cellar Ichinomiya (Ushino-dori, Ichinomiya City, Aichi Prefecture) announced on Instagram that it had received canned beers from Y.MARKET BREWING. In the post, alongside an update about being open after the rain, the IPA and pale ale from the same `Over Drive` series were introduced.
Beers Arrived
- `Over Drive IPA` : American IPA / ABV 6.0% / IBU 37.9
An IPA that leads with citrus notes centered on grapefruit and orange. The bitterness is firm, and the finish comes together cleanly and dry.
- `Over Drive Pale Ale` : American Pale Ale / ABV 5.5% / IBU 18.95
A gentler take on the same series' design. Soft bitterness layers over citrus aroma, while a slight malt sweetness supports the beer as a whole.
Y.MARKET BREWING's `Over Drive` is known as a series themed around effect pedals. The IPA offers a beer with a clear, defined character, while the pale ale has a lighter, easier-drinking profile, and that difference in style is what makes the comparison so interesting. It's naturally enjoyable to sip them at a beer pub, but it's also a good fit for lining up two cans at home and checking the difference in aroma.
When you can come across a series like this at a local beer pub such as Beer Cellar Ichinomiya, it adds the fun of comparison to your usual drink. On days when you want to focus on the shape of the hops, choose the IPA; on days when you want to drink a little more lightly, choose the pale ale. It's the kind of arrival that makes you want to use them that way.
