Hop BroToday’s topic is this! Mizonokuchi Brewery in Mizonokuchi, Kanagawa released "Utaut Mashup Gold #3 - Citrus Milkshake IPA w/ Shonan Gold - 3-bottle set" on May 22, 2025.
MugiWhoa! That name sounds powerful! Like a special move! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroThe style is Citrus Milkshake IPA w/ Shonan Gold, and the ABV is 6%. It’s designed to combine the fruitiness of Shonan Gold with a smooth mouthfeel and a sharp bitterness. The hops are Amarillo and Citra.
MugiWhat is that! Is a milkshake sweet? Bitter? My brain is backing up!
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part: it doesn’t lean entirely on sweetness. A milkshake IPA is about making the mouthfeel feel smooth, and then dry-hopping lifts the citrus aroma before finishing with bitterness.
MugiDry-hopping!? You put the hops in a dryer!?
Hop BroThat’s the hops doing laundry! It’s a method where hops are added after fermentation to bring out aroma more strongly than bitterness. That’s why it pairs so well with the refreshing character of Shonan Gold.
MugiOhhh! And it was a 3-bottle set for 2,550 yen including tax, right? Artwork by norahi, art direction by Kumiko Noda too - they really care about the look as well!
Hop BroExactly. Mizonokuchi Brewery is a microbrewery with up to 13 taps in its taproom, and it also serves guest beers. By the way, as of March 10, 2026, this product page was showing as sold out.
MugiUgh, hearing that it’s designed to be enjoyed on a sunny day makes me want it even more! We have to keep chasing the next seasonal release!
