MugiWhat! At Shibuya Hankachika Sakaba? That place always seems to pull in the dangerous-to-my-wallet taps!
Hop BroThe beer comes from the Shonan Beer brand by Kumazawa Shuzo Co. and they really know how to build aroma.
MugiThat already sounds good! If it smells like orange and tropical fruit, my nose is ordering before I am.
Hop BroThe style is Juicy or Hazy India Pale Ale, which means the recipe pushes aroma forward and keeps bitterness softer.
MugiWhat even is that? That name is enormous. I'd run out of breath halfway through ordering it!
Hop BroBasically, it's a cloudy IPA with big aroma and a soft, smoothie-like mouthfeel, easy to enjoy without the sharp bite.
MugiOh wow! I always expect IPA to hit hard, but restrained bitterness sounds way more approachable for me.
Hop BroAnd at 6.0% ABV, it has enough weight to carry the aroma without feeling too heavy.
