Hop BroTokyo Aleworks in Itabashi has released Emerald Paradise IPA. It’s a new beer that should have the crispness and aroma you’d expect from a West Coast IPA.
MugiWhoa, the name already sounds delicious! Being able to drink it on the spot at a brewpub in Itabashi is pretty great!
Hop BroAnd with an ABV of 7.0% and an IBU of 45, the balance of drinkability and bitterness is solid. It’s not just all punch; it has real structure.
MugiWhat’s IBU? I get that it’s a bitterness indicator, but does a bigger number mean it hits harder?
Hop BroExactly. Roughly speaking, it’s a measure of bitterness. This one is 45, so moderate bitterness is the star, and it should still feel clearly like an IPA without being too hard to drink.
MugiI see! And there are so many hops in it. A muscat-like aroma in beer? That can really happen?
Hop BroIt can. With Motueka, Nelson Sauvin, Cryo Citra, and Simcoe-based hops, you should get citrus and tropical notes, plus that white-grape character Nelson is known for.
MugiWhite grape!? So it’s like wine even though it’s beer! Does that dry hopping thing add the aroma?
Hop BroThat’s right. It’s a method of layering hop aroma after fermentation, and it’s great for bringing aroma forward. So even if the finish is clean, the nose still keeps that bright character.
MugiThat sounds perfect for stopping by after work and having a pint. If you can taste it fresh in the taproom, there’s really no reason not to go!
Hop BroExactly. If you spot it at Tokyo Aleworks, you won’t want to hesitate. Let’s go check out the pleasure of a West Coast IPA together today.
