Hop BroA new release from OHLOY STORE in Takamatsu? OHLOY Brewing has put out the Cold IPA "Onda." This is exactly the kind of beer that hits the mood right now.
MugiWait, what is a Cold IPA? IPA but "Cold"? Is it just beer that's been over-chilled in the fridge?
Hop BroNo, not at all. It’s a style fermented with lager yeast, which gives it a clean, sharp drinking character. What’s interesting is how it layers IPA-style hop expression on top of that.
MugiOh, I see! And they’re using rice too. I thought beer was made only with malt?
Hop BroThat’s the point. Adding rice to the malt can make the body lighter. And at 6.0% ABV, it still has plenty of presence without feeling too heavy.
MugiNice, that’s clever! But what about the hops? Does it still smell and taste properly like an IPA?
Hop BroThe main hops are Idaho7 and Citra CRYO. They bring citrusy aroma and a pleasant bitterness, with a crisp finish that keeps you moving naturally to the next sip.
MugiWow, hard to get tired of drinking sounds perfect. It seems ideal for sipping slowly with snacks!
Hop BroExactly. And the name "Onda," which means wave, is great too. It matches the wave-spray photo on the label, so the whole visual world feels cohesive.
MugiThat vibe of relaxing and enjoying it at a Takamatsu brewpub is really nice. This is definitely one that makes you want to raise a glass right away!
Hop BroYeah, it should satisfy hop lovers and also suit anyone looking for a light IPA. All right, I want a pint of this.
MugiI want to drink it too! Looking forward to the next sip is exactly what a perfect beer should be!
OHLOY Brewing's release "Onda" is a beer that balances the light drinkability typical of a Cold IPA with the hop presence expected of an IPA. The style is Cold IPA, and the ABV is 6.0%. By using rice as well as malt, and fermenting it with lager yeast, it delivers a clean and sharp finish.
The hops used are mainly Idaho7 and Citra CRYO. The caption highlights citrus-like pleasant bitterness and a refreshing character, with a crisp aftertaste that naturally leads into the next sip. Rather than simply pushing strong aromas to the forefront, the beer is crafted for balance and to avoid drink fatigue, which also makes it appealing alongside food.
"Onda" is a word meaning "wave" in Spanish and Italian. The label uses a photo of wave spray by Mr. Kondo, echoing the image suggested by the name. As a beer meant to be enjoyed slowly with a glass in hand at a brewpub like OHLOY STORE, it is attention-grabbing not only for hop lovers but also for anyone looking for a light, easy-drinking IPA.
