Hop BroToday's topic is Mikkeller Kiosk/Bar in Shibuya picking up Himitsu Beer's Rakko IPA. It sounds like exactly the kind of beer summer wants.
MugiWait, Rakko IPA already wins on the name alone! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's a Session IPA at 4.5% ABV. Super easy to drink, but the hop aroma still shows up properly.
MugiWhat even is a Session IPA? That sounds less like beer and more like a quiz category!
Hop BroBasically, it's a lighter IPA. Less weight, less aggressive bitterness, and built so you can keep sipping without fatigue.
MugiOooh, and it still has that hop aroma? Light but not boring is doing some serious work there!
Hop BroExactly. You get citrus and white grape vibes, then a little berry note and a grassy hop edge on top. Lots going on, but still breezy.
MugiHold on, grassy hop character doesn't mean I'm drinking a lawn, right!?
Hop BroNo lawn juice, relax. Think fresh green notes like herbs or something just-picked. That's the flavor direction.
MugiOkay, a guest beer like that near Shibuya Station sounds like a perfect hot-day pint!
Hop BroAnd it's at all day place shibuya 1F, so summer beer in Shibuya doesn't get much easier to chase down. I'm already thirsty.
MugiThat's it, I'm sold. I want one now, and this summer I am absolutely going to meet Rakko IPA in person!
