Hop BroToday's headliner is the new tap at Sakura Taps in Hanasakicho, Yokohama: "Oni no Hina Goya IPA" from Onidensetsu × AiD STATION.
MugiWhoa! Just from the name alone, Oni no Hina Goya IPA already sounds way too much like a mountain hut!
Hop BroWhat's inside is serious too. It's an IPA that uses Krush and Nelson, plus Citra. The peach-like aroma layers with citrus and white grape notes.
MugiWait, white grape notes? Does that mean it tastes kind of wine-like even though it's beer?
Hop BroExactly. That's how the hop-driven aroma is described. Nelson Sauvin in particular tends to bring out a white grape-like aroma, and when that combines with citrus and peach notes, you get an IPA that's easy to drink but still has depth.
MugiOhh! And at Sakura Taps you can even do a side-by-side tasting with Kinki, right? That's the kind of thing that makes you want to check the answer!
Hop BroExactly. When you line it up with Onidensetsu's Kinki Pale Ale, the difference in how the hops are presented becomes really clear. The pale ale is lighter than the IPA, and the edges of the bitterness are easier to see, so it's great for comparison.
MugiAnd today they're running all eight taps! Not just collaborations either - they have Helles, Hazy, and Dark styles too. Isn't that seriously strong?
Hop BroThe lineup is interesting. It runs from Helles to dark styles, with CAMA × NAMA's New World IPA, Banana Kick, Abe-chan's Fresh Bitter, and HAZY IPA -Spring-, so you can choose based on your mood.
MugiThen today is perfect for pairing food with a tasting lineup. Get excited with Oni no Hina Goya IPA, grin with Kinki, and by the end everyone will be craving beer!
