Totopia Brewery Releases DDH Hazy Pale Ale "Duskphobia"
Totopia Brewery in Nagakute City, Aichi Prefecture, has announced its new release, "Duskphobia." It is a DDH Hazy Pale Ale with an ABV of 5.5%. Using NZH106 and Citra Cryo, it will be released first to trade accounts from March 31, and then to the general public from April 3.
Hop BroTotopia Brewery has a new release called Duskphobia. As you'd expect from a brewery in Nagakute City, Aichi Prefecture, even the name has a strong personality, which is great.
MugiWhoa, "fear of dusk"!? That's such a spooky-cute name. And DDH Hazy Pale Ale looks like a spell more than a beer!
Hop BroDDH means double dry hopping, right? Since the hops are layered in after fermentation, the aroma really jumps forward, and it's easier to enjoy that cloudy mouthfeel too.
MugiI see, it's like a special move for boosting aroma! But what is NZH106? Is that a hop? Or some kind of future robot part?
Hop BroIt's definitely a hop. They also use Citra Cryo, and the post describes it as a blend of orange freshness, ripe apricot, and a resinous dank character.
MugiWow, citrus, apricot, and dank!? It's like a three-part fruit symphony, and now my brain is already tasting it!
Hop BroWith an ABV of 5.5%, it's got enough presence without feeling too heavy. It's the kind of beer that's perfect for slowly following the aroma as you drink.
MugiThat sounds easy to drink! And if trade accounts get it first from 3:00 PM on March 31, maybe we'll spot it in shops or bars before anyone else.
Hop BroExactly. The general release starts rolling out from 7:00 PM on April 3. Totopia Brewery got its start in Nagakute in 2022, and its signature is putting hops and fruit character front and center.
MugiI'm even more interested now~! If it has both hop brightness and that soft cloudy texture, I want this as tonight's drink.
Hop BroThen I'll take the resinous side, and you handle the apricot. As a candidate for tonight's toast, this is a pretty strong one.
MugiAgreed! I want to track it down fast and taste that cloudy mouthfeel for myself!
Totopia Brewery has announced the release of its new beer, "Duskphobia" (fear of dusk). The style is DDH Hazy Pale Ale, and the ABV is 5.5%. The hops used are NZH106 and Citra Cryo, and the post describes it as a beer with the refreshing character of orange, the fruitiness of ripe apricot, and a resinous, dank note layered on top.
