Saiougauma in Sannomiya, Kobe is highlighting VITRIOL VII from MAHOWBREW in Okinawa. The beer is a DDH IPA at 7.5% ABV and 58 IBU, and the post says it is the seventh release in an IPA series brewed with the Norwegian traditional yeast Kveik.

The recipe is hop-forward and detailed: IPA Malt and Pilsner with Dextrose, then Riwaka, Tango, Nelson Sauvin, Motueka Cryo, Citra Cryo, and Maui Nelson Kief. The brewer also adds Motueka Cryo and Citra Cryo in the whirlpool, with Tango and Nelson Sauvin Bliss in the dry hop. According to the post, the beer offers fruity aromatics that evoke peach and mango, along with a dry body and a clean, snappy finish.

As a beer pub, Saiougauma's appeal is how clearly it presents guest beers for hop-minded drinkers. By sharing the brewery, style, yeast, and hop bill, it gives a strong sense of what to expect before the first sip. For fans of expressive IPAs, this is the kind of guest beer worth paying attention to.
