Hop BroAt Cycad Brewing in Nishi-Ikebukuro, the new house-brewed IPA Lowii is now on sale. It's a beer you'll want to enjoy together with the atmosphere of the place.
MugiWhoa, even the name Lowii sounds cool! Just hearing "new house-brewed release" already makes it sound delicious!
Hop BroThe style is New England Style IPA, and the ABV is 6.5%. It brings hop aroma to the forefront while keeping a soft mouthfeel.
MugiNew Zealand style, not New England? The names are confusing! Bringing hop aroma to the forefront sounds nice, but how far to the front does that really mean?
Hop BroThat's a good question. Apparently, the moment you bring the glass close, citrus and guava plus even pineapple notes rise up. In short, it's the kind of beer where the aroma comes at you first.
MugiWhat is that! It's basically a tropical juice! But it's beer, right? Pineapple aroma sounds almost unfairly tempting!
Hop BroThe mouthfeel starts with a silky touch, and then finishes dry and clean. It's juicy, but doesn't end up too heavy, so it's designed to make you want another glass.
MugiOhh! It comes in soft, then finishes crisp. Wanting another glass sounds like a dangerously perfect setup, doesn't it?
Hop BroAnd the label was handled by illustrator Junya Saida, so it really carries Cycad's worldview. I like that it lifts your mood not just through the taste, but from the moment you see it.
MugiIf you can drink it at a brewpub in Nishi-Ikebukuro, there's already every reason to go! A drink to enjoy in Nishi-Ikebukuro might be perfect for today's mood!
Hop BroThen it's settled. Let's open a Lowii at Cycad Brewing and take our time with the aroma. I'm starting to want one right now too.
MugiYeah, me too! Faced with a tropical glass like that, I'd probably toast before I even finish the conversation!
