MugiWhoa! Even the name sounds hazy and delicious! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt’s a Hazy IPA, ABV 7.0%, IBU 30. It’s designed to be juicy and aromatic without being too bitter.
MugiIBU 30 sounds like a science class term... so how bitter is it, really? Is it the kind that stings your tongue?
Hop BroNot quite that harsh. Numerically it’s moderate, and the goal is to balance the hazy style’s fullness with easy drinkability.
MugiOhhh! So what kind of aroma are we talking about? Tropical? Citrus? A little of everything?
Hop BroPretty much everything! They used Nectaron, Riwaka, Nelson Sauvin, and Cryo Citra, layering in passion fruit, citrus, and even white-wine grape-like aromas.
MugiWhat is that! A whole festival of katakana hops! And it says DDH too, but what kind of spell is that?
Hop BroDDH stands for Double Dry Hopped, a method where lots of hops are added after fermentation to boost the aroma. Officially it’s listed as "Oyama Haze Ver 3 DDH Hazy IPA," and the Oyama collaboration context with @sake_motohashi (Motohashi Sake Shop) is pretty hot too.
MugiThat local Tokyo vibe is the best...! Hop bro, let’s talk about this while drinking it tonight. I’m already fully in Oyama Haze mode!
Tokyo Aleworks (Tokyo) unveiled a new collaboration beer in an Instagram post titled "New Release!!!" The beer is called Oyama Haze. According to the post, the style is Hazy IPA, ABV is 7.0%, IBU is 30, and the hops used are Nectaron, Riwaka, Nelson Sauvin, and Cryo Citra.
The post explains that the brewery aimed for what it called its "juiciest ever" finish by increasing the proportion of New Zealand hops while adding a small amount of American hops. The flavor profile combines passion fruit and citrus, layered with aromas reminiscent of wine grapes, aiming to achieve both the fullness typical of a hazy IPA and easy drinkability.
The brewery's official website, in its collaboration list and product page, lists it as "Oyama Haze Ver 3 DDH Hazy IPA." The alcohol content is 7.0%, and the description matches the Instagram post, making the release information highly reliable. The `@sake_motohashi` account mentioned in the post belongs to Motohashi Sake Shop, a liquor store in the Itabashi and Oyama area, suggesting a collaboration rooted in local context.
Tokyo Aleworks opened its brewery in Itabashi in 2018 and has pursued a wide range of styles under the banner "Be The Craft Revolution." This release, which combines Tokyo-local context with hop expression, seems likely to stand as a signature example of the brewery's collaboration-driven approach.
Information may be inaccurate. Please refer to the brewery’s official channels for the latest details.
