Mya-Brew taps NAMI NO OTO BREWING's "circle" - an Awaji Island melon IPA
Mya-Brew in Chikusa Ward, Nagoya City, Aichi, announced in a May 23 post that it had tapped "circle" from NAMI NO OTO BREWING in Minami Awaji, Hyogo. It is a juicy IPA with a fruity character made using "Awajishima Melon®" grown on Awaji Island.
Hop BroThere's a beer called NAMI NO OTO BREWING's "circle" that was tapped at Mya-Brew in Chikusa Ward, Nagoya. It's an IPA made with Awaji Island melon, and it has a really nice seasonal feel.
MugiWhoa! An melon IPA? Does that mean it's like a sweet dessert beer? Just imagining it makes me want to drink it!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: the style is juicy IPA w/melon. It has a juicy fruit aroma, but it's not just sweet - the hop aroma is layered in properly too.
MugiWhat does that even mean? Does juicy IPA mean an IPA with a lot of juice? Beer turning into juice sounds like a bit of an incident, doesn't it?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's an IPA with a soft mouthfeel and aroma that really comes forward. And this one is IBU 25, so it's tuned toward being easy to drink without too much bitterness.
MugiI see! So it's not the kind that hits you with bitterness, but more of a mild IPA that comes at you gently through the aroma. I might be able to handle that!
Hop BroExactly. And since it uses my FARM's Awajishima Melon®, it has that sense of origin, not just a generic flavor. The way the aroma rises is really easy to imagine.
MugiA sense of origin sounds cool! But hearing they loaded in a ton of melon makes me think of summer festivals already - what does it taste like when you actually drink it?
Hop BroThe melon fruitiness should overlap with the hop flavor, making it fruity and substantial. And with ABV 6.0%, the balance is just right - neither too light nor too heavy.
MugiAnd Mya-Brew lets you enjoy both house beers and guest kegs, right? Today is basically a drink-compare paradise - now I'm already hungry!
Hop BroIf you compare circle alongside the house-brewed GOse WOMEN and nyight, it would definitely be fun. This is absolutely one I'd want to put on the list for tonight's drink.
