At Dining Bar Frush in Teramachi, Matsue, the shop highlighted Mountain Top IPA from Mimasaka Beer Works as a new beer arrival. In the post, the brewery says the beer was brewed with a recent in-house event in mind and was built as a West Coast IPA with Lagunitas IPA as a reference point, while still being crafted in MBW's own style.

The recipe is described in detail. The malt bill is kept light, with no wheat, while Japanese rice and barley (pressed barley) are used to create a lighter and drier finish. The hop bill centers on Centennial and Chinook, with Mosaic used in the dry hop. Honey is also included. Aromatically, the beer is said to show citrus, peach, and grapefruit. On the palate, grapefruit character and a grassy note come forward, followed by a clear, lingering bitterness.

Based on the post, this is the kind of IPA that feels strongly bitter at first but becomes less aggressive as you drink it. The aroma leans modern, while the structure stays firmly West Coast. It is less about flash and more about a clean balance of bitterness, aroma, and drinkability.

Dining Bar Frush is a beer pub in Matsue where guests can enjoy food alongside craft beer. Guest beer additions like this are a good way to see the bar's character, and this one should appeal to IPA fans as well as anyone looking for a hop-forward beer with a clear profile.
