MugiWhat! When I hear double IPA, I picture something super heavy, and it's already on tap!
Hop BroThat's the key point here. Even though it's high in alcohol, it's crisp. It still has plenty of body, but the finish doesn't linger as heavily.
MugiWhat is that even like? How is something high in alcohol not heavy? And isn't a double IPA just about being strong?
Hop BroBasically, it balances malty depth with hop aroma while keeping the drinking experience smooth. This one is described as having a malty, well-rounded character, so it feels concentrated without being cloying.
MugiOhhh! Then it sounds like it could work as the first beer too! It looks like it would hit hard right away, but it's actually pretty considerate.
Hop BroExactly. The post even says it's drinkable from the first glass, which is great. It's the kind of beer that appeals to people who want IPA hop character but don't want to get tired of drinking it.
MugiAnd the fact that it's in Tamachi makes it even more tempting because it's easy to stop by after work! The combo of casual French and craft beer is interesting too.
Hop BroCRAFT BEER MARKET Tamachi is a beer pub that's perfectly suited to casual French cuisine. It's easy to use on weekdays too, and it has a genuinely relaxed atmosphere for enjoying beer.
MugiAnd it even has a party plan with all-you-can-drink beer, which is bold! Being able to use it with just two people is nice for small groups too.
Hop BroIf this beer is available in Tamachi, then tonight's plan is already set. I want to take my time and enjoy this not-too-heavy double IPA with some food.
MugiYeah, just reading this made me remember the taste of craft beer already! I seriously want to head to Tamachi for a first drink tonight!
