Hop BroMukuraf in Morishita just put a fresh tap on today: Shiga Kogen Beer’s "SNOW MONKEY IPA orange ver."!
MugiWait, that name already sounds intense! SNOW MONKEY IPA is what kind of beer?
Hop BroIt’s a cloudy Hazy IPA with Valencia orange and iyokan-like citrus, white-peach tropical notes, plus firm bitterness and a dry finish.
MugiHold on, when you say cloudy Hazy IPA, my brain can’t decide if we’re drinking juice or beer!
Hop BroHazy just means the hops lead the show and the beer looks softly opaque. Think aroma-first IPA and it clicks.
MugiOoh! Orange and white peach together sounds like a summer fruit basket in a glass!
Hop BroAnd Mukuraf didn’t stop at draft either. The bottle lineup is stacked with WestCoastBrewing: "Freestyle Sandbox8" Hazy DIPA, "Triple Cone" Hazy IPA, "Analog Glow" West Coast IPA, and "Instant Classic" American PA.
MugiWhat is that, a hop theme park in a fridge? They had GOODHOPS too, right?
Hop BroYep, "Summer Grow," "Tono IBUKI IPA," "Pacific Lines," and "Xroad" are there too, so the range of drinkability is legit, from punchy IPA to easygoing Session IPA.
MugiThen I’d start with SNOW MONKEY and immediately overthink my second round. And with rock-seaweed tarako pasta, that has to be illegal.
Hop BroExactly. Salty food makes hop aroma and bitterness pop, and with house mortadella, boiled sardines, peach burrata, and dessert, I’m already in full craving mode.
MugiI’m done for. Just reading this made me thirsty. On a sticky Sunday, this sounds like the perfect first pint and now I want one immediately!
