Hop BroBrewing Hyaku's Sweet Summer DDH IPA, using Ashikita-grown Amanatsu, really feels like summer to the max.
MugiWhoa! Beer with Amanatsu? Does a citrus beer taste kind of like juice?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: it keeps the IPA backbone while drawing out grapefruit- and lime-like notes with Citra hops alone.
MugiWait, only Citra hops? So can it really aroma that much even with just one hop variety?
Hop BroExactly, and because it's a DDH finish, the hop aroma is layered in two stages, giving the aroma a really crisp outline.
MugiHmm! But Amanatsu has this image of gentle sweetness, so won't it clash with the bitterness?
Hop BroThat's where it hits just right: it layers the sweetness and subtle bitterness of Ashikita-grown Amanatsu to create that light, easy-drinking finish that is the key to this beer.
MugiWow, that sounds easy to drink! And at 5.0% ABV, I'd be tempted to have another glass on a hot day!
Hop BroExactly. You can see it on the official online shop, and the reasonably priced 825 yen makes it easy to try.
MugiIt seems like it would fit both the beach and dusk, so I can see why it's called a summer staple candidate!
Hop BroOn a day like this, I just want to chase the aroma slowly with a chilled Ashikita Amanatsu IPA in hand.
MugiWhat is that, amazing! Today my head is full of the feeling that I want to drink it right now!
