Two new Hazy IPAs tap at Beer shop Llama in Mitaka, with taps refreshed
At the beer pub Beer shop Llama in Shimorenjaku, Mitaka City, two new Hazy IPAs have been tapped. The post introduces Open Air's "Warm Up" and NORTH ISLAND's "GinZY," and the current tap list now features eight beers, including Kyoto Brewing and Let's Beer Works.
Hop BroThere's new info from Beer shop Llama in Mitaka: two Hazy IPAs have been tapped at the same time. Open Air's "Warm Up" and NORTH ISLAND's "GinZY" are now on, and the tap list has gotten lively all at once.
MugiWhoa! Two Hazy IPAs at once sounds unbelievably good! And an update at a beer pub in Mitaka? That's the kind of place that makes you want to keep coming back!
Hop BroFirst up, "Warm Up" uses a classic hop combo: Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe. It gives off grapefruit and tropical fruit aromas, with a nice balance that keeps it from feeling too heavy.
MugiWhat is that! It's like a rush of hop names! Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe... they sound like a spell or something...?
Hop BroBasically, it's a combination of aroma-focused hops. They can bring out citrus, tropical fruit, and even a little pine, which makes it easier to create that "hazy but juicy" feel in a Hazy IPA.
MugiOhhh! So how about "GinZY"? Just reading bright and juicy makes me want to drink it already!
Hop Bro"GinZY" is a Hazy IPA that layers peach and tropical fruit aromas with citrus notes like orange and mikan. It also uses Haruyutaka wheat, so the mouthfeel is soft and the finish is light.
MugiIt even uses wheat!? Soft and juicy? A beer can be that gentle!?
Hop BroExactly. Hazy IPAs often use wheat as well as malt, which makes the mouthfeel rounder. What makes Llama interesting is the wide range of styles on tap.
MugiFor sure, the tap list is incredibly broad! It feels like a lineup of eight distinctive beers: from Kyoto Brewing's "Fruit Life" to HEFE WEISSE and TYPHINA, it's seriously stacked!
Hop BroThere are fruit sour, Hefe Weisse, Keller Pils, Imperial Sour, Irish Red Ale, West Coast IPA, Imperial IPA, and Dry Stout too, so there's real fun in choosing from the very first pint. If you're drinking in Mitaka, it's the kind of place where you can spend your first round deciding what to drink.
MugiThis is definitely a place I have to go to! I want to start with a lively Hazy and work my way through the lineup, then compare the taps and agonize over the next one! My throat is already waiting for beer!
Hop BroNice, then today is a toast in Mitaka. Start with Warm Up, move on to GinZY, and then have one more from the tap that catches your eye.
MugiIt's decided! This is such an update that makes you want to bar-hop. I want to be lined up at Llama's counter right now!
