Beer Pub Camden Ikebukuro East Exit announced in a May 18 post that four draft beers are now on tap today. The newly listed beers are Phase Three × Brujos's PiXel Populus, Brew Classic's Heartwarmng Tiger, Totopia's Kodamaphobia, and Breakside's WANDERLUST IPA.
Hop BroToday’s highlight is the four-keg tap update at the Ikebukuro East Exit location. Beer Pub Camden Ikebukuro East Exit dropped a full update on today’s taps on May 18.
MugiWhat, four kegs at once!? That kind of sudden expansion is so wonderfully overwhelming I don’t even know where to start!
Hop BroThe star of the show is Phase Three × Brujos's PiXel Populus. It’s a Hazy DIPA, and with Citra, Mosaic, and even Nelson Sauvin, it goes all-in on juiciness.
MugiI get that it’s juicy, but what is Cryo? It sounds like some secret weapon that froze the hops or something!
Hop BroGood catch. Cryo concentrates the hop compounds, which helps intensify aroma while reducing rough edges. That’s why PiXel Populus comes across as rich and sharply defined.
MugiAh, I see! So Brew Classic’s Heartwarmng Tiger, which says it has a blood orange character, sounds super easy to drink, right?
Hop BroExactly. On top of that, there’s passion fruit, grapefruit peel-like bitterness, and a soft dank character. It’s the kind of beer IPA fans will nod at immediately.
MugiKodamaphobia sounds interesting too! Fresh green notes and pineapple vibes? It’s like drinking the forest and the tropics at the same time! My brain is working overtime!
Hop BroThis DDH Hazy DIPA from Totopia has a dense pineapple character with a limey finish, so it ends cleanly. And Breakside’s WANDERLUST IPA is an amber IPA with grapefruit and dank aromas that feel really nice.
MugiAnd the tap list even has PUNK IPA on regular rotation too? That’s way too strong! It has everything from classics to curveballs, Ikebukuro wins today!
Hop BroDays like this are fun because you get to choose. It feels like an IPA paradise kind of day. Makes me want to have a pint too.
MugiYeah, I’m fully in the mood now! For after work today, I think I want to start with PiXel Populus!
