DevilCraft Gotanda taps Floating Castle hazy double IPA
DevilCraft Gotanda in Tokyo’s Gotanda area announced a fresh pour of its house-brewed Hazy Double IPA, Floating Castle, on June 23. The beer is listed at 9.1% ABV, and the shop also noted that reservations were heavy and seats were limited that day.
Hop BroToday's topic is that DevilCraft Gotanda in Gotanda just put Floating Castle on for a continuous tapping run.
MugiWhat, really! Even the name sounds intense. So this is a Hazy Double IPA, right?
Hop BroExactly, and at ABV 9.1%, it's a full-flavored beer with some serious weight to it.
MugiWow! But honestly, Hazy Double IPA sounds like a spell that makes me freeze for a second!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's cloudy and juicy, and the “double” means more malt and hops, so the aroma and body really push forward.
MugiGot it, so it looks soft but hits hard, basically a powerhouse beer with a sneaky side!
Hop BroAnd the place is on the 9th floor, just one minute from the station, with 18 taps and Chicago-style pizza, so “just one drink” usually turns into a full session.
MugiThat is dangerous! Beer and pizza together, and they said only a few seats left because reservations were heavy that day? My stomach would sprint there first!
Hop BroWhat makes it special is that they can pour their own house brew on tap, and this one really feels like the brewery's personality in a glass.
MugiI'm done for, I want one right now, and I can already see us toasting with Floating Castle and a slice of pizza after work!
