Hop BroBetokoko Brewing in Awara City, Fukui Prefecture is putting out a new batch of HIDDEMON in cans starting April 30.
MugiWhoa, even the name has energy! What does Hiddemon mean?
Hop BroIt means "very" or "extremely" in the Fukui dialect. It feels local, and I like the regionally flavored naming.
MugiHuh! But IBU 114 sounds so intense it’s kind of scary... what is this, the final boss of bitterness!?
Hop BroIBU is a measure of bitterness, and 114 is definitely on the high side. In other words, this is an IPA where bitterness takes the lead role.
MugiSo this is the kind that hits you with bitterness the moment you drink it!? And with ABV 7.5%, it sounds like it could get you pretty good!
Hop BroExactly. It uses Pale Ale and Crystal malts, and the hops include Columbus, Cascade, Centennial, Simcoe, Strata, and Simcoe Cryo. It's basically loaded with hops.
MugiWait, Simcoe shows up twice. Did it split in two? There are too many hop names going on here!
Hop BroNot a split clone, just the regular version and the Cryo version. So the aroma runs through pine, dank, and bitter notes, then finishes with a crisp aftertaste.
MugiAwara City is also known for Awara Onsen, so it feels like the beer has the local atmosphere built in! An IPA after a hot spring sounds amazing, doesn't it?
Hop BroThis is the kind of beer that would feel dangerously good after a bath. Once April 30 arrives, I'll be in the mood to open a chilled can.
MugiYeah, I already want to drink it! When you hear it's a bitter, delicious beer, there's no reason not to try it.
