MugiWhoa! Even the name sounds fun! Hoppy Weizen sounds like a beer that’s got a lot going on!
Hop BroRight, it’s a beer that adds hop character to a Weizen, and this time it’s the German hop ver.
MugiGerman hops? What is that, like the hops are holding a meeting in Germany? Does hop character really change that much?
Hop BroIt uses Motueka, Hallertau Mittelfrueh, and Huell Melon, and the key point is the layered aroma where yeast-derived notes like banana and clove overlap with a gentle hop aroma.
MugiBanana, clove, and hops? That’s a lot of information! But it sounds delicious! The layered aroma thing is kind of intriguing, almost like perfume!
Hop BroIt also uses 50% wheat malt, has an alcohol content of 5.0%, and an IBU of 24. So it isn’t too bitter, and with its hazy, gentle mouthfeel, it balances drinkability and character.
MugiI see! So IBU is a rough guide to bitterness. That’s useful to know! But I think gentle mouthfeel matters more to me than numbers!
Hop BroThe ideal drinking temperature is 8-12°C, so the trick is not to chill it too much and let the aroma open up. Because the expression changes with temperature, it’s fun to follow the changes in aroma.
MugiThat’s the best! Then I want to compare the temperature difference with a second glass! Let’s check it out early and go drink it together before it runs out!
