Hop BroThe star is karuizawaQ’s Juicy IPA “Iromegane.” It’s the kind that bursts with fruit-like aroma.
MugiDoes Juicy IPA mean beer that’s actually juice? Do they add fruit juice?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part: it doesn’t necessarily contain juice. Hops create a tropical fruit impression in this IPA.
