Hop BroAt Eflash in Teramachi, Matsue, KAMIKATZ IPA Yamainudake has been tapped. It's a seasonal IPA from RISE & WIN Brewing Co. / Kamikatsu Beer, and it's definitely one to watch.
MugiWhoa, just hearing seasonal IPA makes me restless! Yamainudake sounds like some kind of mountain yokai, but it's actually beer!?
Hop BroExactly. It's a beer inspired by the mountain that the people of Kamikatsu hold dear. And because it's a West Coast IPA, it's the kind of beer where both aroma and bitterness come through cleanly and forcefully.
MugiSo does West Coast IPA mean it has strong bitterness? Or is it the kind of beer that tastes better when you drink it by the sea?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's a style that really brings out hop aroma and bitterness. Yamainudake adds pine-needle-derived aroma on top of that, so it has a fresh, green, resinous character.
MugiWow, that sounds like drinking while bathing in the forest! But do they really put pine needles into beer?
Hop BroThey do, and they use pine needles from Kamikatsu. The malt richness, tropical hop aroma, and solid body all come together, so it doesn't end up being just grassy, which is the interesting part.
MugiWait, it even has tropical hop aroma? There's so much going on, and yet it still sounds delicious!
Hop BroAnd Eflash is only a 6-minute walk from JR Matsue Station, with counter seats and tatami seating, so it's a place where you can really take your time with a meal.
MugiThat's perfect! If they have 12 taps of guest beer, it's the kind of place that makes you agonize every time you go back, and Yamainudake makes me want to go drink it right now!
