MugiWait, an authentic craft IPA in the basement of Susukino!? It looks like a "casual drink" on the surface, but it feels like a pretty serious one has shown up!
Hop BroExactly. The key point is the aroma design using Simcoe and Mosaic. Bright citrus-like notes are layered with a slightly spicy nuance.
MugiSimcoe and Mosaic are hop names, right? It suddenly sounds like a spell, and now I feel like I’d freeze in front of the shelf!
Hop BroYes, they’re hop varieties. Put simply, they’re a combination that makes it easier to bring out citrusy aromas, while also adding a bit of complexity.
MugiI see! So it’s not just bitter, but more like the aroma comes first. The kind that gets you excited before you even drink it!
Hop BroExactly. And on the palate, the firm bitterness and malt richness continue, so it’s more of a "savor it slowly" beer than a light, breezy one.
MugiAt 6%, it’s the classic IPA type, but with personality, which is kind of unfair! I’d probably mean to have just one, and end up studying it the whole time!
Hop BroThat "makes you want to study it" feeling is exactly what’s good about it. Because it has layered aroma and a lingering finish, its character comes out more the slower you drink it.
MugiAnd Susukino Ale STAND makes it easy to pair with food, which is great too! If I had one after work, I’d definitely end up having another!
Hop BroYep, this is exactly the kind of beer that’s perfect for a day when you want to slowly enjoy a Hokkaido IPA. Tonight, let’s raise a glass to Miyabi and the layers of bitterness and aroma.
