MugiWait, really? Miyajima has such a strong sightseeing image, and they’re making craft beer that legit?
Hop BroThat’s right. As the name suggests, it’s a HAZY IPA, with bright citrusy aroma hops. It’s juicy, but the mouthfeel is still light, so it’s designed to go down smoothly in early spring.
MugiWhat? “Aroma hops” and “HAZY” make it sound like I’ve suddenly walked into science class!
Hop BroSimply put, aroma hops are there for fragrance. HAZY means it’s a little cloudy and lets you catch soft notes like orange or grapefruit more easily. It isn’t too bitter, so it’s approachable.
MugiOhhh! So basically it’s got flashy aroma and an easy-drinking body. A gap-moe beer!
Hop BroAnd the can is strong too. The Great Torii Gate of Itsukushima Shrine and the Five-Story Pagoda are boldly illustrated on it, so it feels like a Miyajima trip before you even open it. If you gave this as a souvenir, people would praise your taste.
MugiBeer that makes you drink the scenery too is unfair! Just having it in the fridge would hype me up!
Hop BroMiyajima Brewery has always valued a crisp, easy-to-drink design that pairs well with meals. This lightness is also very sensible as a beer for drinking with food.
MugiDecision made! Tonight we’re opening the “HAZY IPA” and toasting with Miyajima vibes! I’m ready to drink it while staring at the torii label!
