Hop BroThe one that got tapped at the Sannomiya beer pub Saiongauma was Totopia Brewery × VERTERE's "Diffusiophilia," right?
MugiWhoa! Just being a collaboration beer already sounds strong, and the name DDH Hazy Double IPA makes it sound packed with everything!
Hop BroExactly. It's a guest beer at 8.5% ABV, and it uses Vera, Citra, and Citra Cryo hops.
MugiWhat even is Citra Cryo? Some kind of trick for chilling the beer with ice? The sheer power of the hop name is intense!
Hop BroNot ice at all. It's a concentrated form of the hop's aroma compounds. That's why the aroma can come across as really vivid.
MugiI get it! So even though the article says soft mouthfeel, it still feels fluffy and sweet without being too heavy!
Hop BroYeah, and what's interesting is that the ripe orange and strawberry-like outline is layered with faint dank and bitter notes to create depth.
MugiSo hazy beers aren't just sweet after all! Tightening it up with bitterness makes it feel like a grown-up dessert!
Hop BroExactly. Following the changing selection chosen by the owner at a place like Saiongauma is part of the fun of craft beer.
MugiAlright, if I go to Sannomiya, I'm definitely checking it out! I'm already in the mood to go out for a drink!

Layered on top of that are faint dank and bitter notes, creating a sense of depth.
