Hop BroFour new beers have arrived at Beer shop Llama in Mitaka. This time it's four canned beers from CYCAD, and the lineup has a pretty wide range, from the 3rd anniversary Stout to IPA, NE IPA, and West Coast Pilsner.
MugiWhat! You mean all four are distinct personalities? Even though they come from the same brewery, they're so different they sound like a family meeting!
Hop BroFirst up is the commemorative Dark Method Stout. The roasted malt's toasty aroma and bitterness are layered with a hint of sweetness, and it's the kind of beer that gains depth the slower you drink it.
MugiRoasted malt, what even is that? You mean that dark toasty flavor? It's weird that something like burnt bread can still taste good, but that's beer for you!
Hop BroExactly, it's the aroma of malt that's been roasted. And this Stout has a rich mouthfeel, so it's not just heavy; it's the kind of beer that makes you slowly go, 'This is good...'
MugiThen next is the IPA! The fruitiness of Dyer sounds amazing, but pineapple and peach? That's basically a juice-level temptation. Still, I love that the bitterness keeps it in check!
Hop BroDyer uses Hyper Boost of Citra and Mosaic, plus Simcoe Cryo, so the dry-hop aroma really pops. By the way, Cryo is a concentrated form of hop aroma compounds, and Hyper Boost is kind of like a concentrated material that helps push the aroma forward.
MugiWait, what! The hops are concentrated? That's basically a supplement for beer. Drink it and you'll probably feel like you're suddenly surrounded by a forest and fruit!
Hop BroNext, Lowii has a silky mouthfeel that's great. Citrus, guava, and pineapple spread out softly, and then a slightly dank note comes in at the end, so it doesn't just finish sweet.
MugiDank isn't about basketball, right? If it means the quirky bitterness at the end, then I get it. It finishes refreshingly, but then makes you say, 'One more sip!'
Hop BroAnd Revoluta is a SMaSH Pilsner made with only Citra hops and pilsner malt. Because it's so simple, the citrus and tropical aromas come through vividly, and it goes down light and smooth.
MugiHaving all of these lined up at Beer shop Llama in Mitaka is just incredible... A four-pack you can choose from based on your mood? Just deciding between a dark beer for something rich or a bright aromatic one is already fun!
Hop BroExactly, this is what makes tasting flights fun. Today I'd start quietly with Dark Method, then finish off with Revoluta for something light and brisk. That's the kind of flow that makes me want to have a drink.
MugiI know! I can't stop wanting to drink right now! First I'd get lost in the Stout, then have fun with the IPA, then one more sip... at this rate, I might never make it home!
