Hop BroMugi, Betococo Brewing in Fukui just released a Drop Sunset can on Saturday, March 21!
MugiWhat! The name already feels stylish, like a sunset! So this is a new craft beer?
Hop BroExactly. The style is DDH Pale Ale, with a sweet-tart aroma like orange and berries.
MugiWhat is that! What language is DDH in!? It sounds like a spell, and I can't memorize it in one sip!
Hop BroBasically, DDH means a double dose of dry hopping, a method that really brings out the aroma.
MugiOhhh! Then I want something that's not too bitter, so easy drinkability is a plus!
Hop BroThe recipe is well balanced, with ABV 5.0% and IBU 16 for a just-right balance. The malts are Pilsner, Oats, and Wheat.
MugiIBU 16 sounds doable! But Mosaic Cryo for the hops - does cryo mean frozen?
Hop BroGood question! Cryo is like using concentrated hop components, which makes it easier to bring out a crisp citrus character.
MugiAnd since it's in a can, it's easy to carry around, and it feels like you can taste the air of Fukui too - that's full of local flavor and amazing!
Hop BroYeah, tonight's decided - let's have a two-person opening party and drink it in sunset mode!
