Beer Space on Tap, a craft beer pub located in Kobe’s Motomachi district, has announced the tapping of EXPDTN (Expedition) from Hokkaido-based Yotei Brewing.
EXPDTN is a 6% ABV Hazy IPA with an IBU of 20. Built around Citra, El Dorado, and Mosaic hops, it offers an expressive aroma reminiscent of ripe tropical fruit, with impressions of mango, pineapple, and citrus. A silky, creamy texture softens the fruit-forward character, while the bitterness remains smooth and approachable. The beer finishes lightly, leaving a clear hop presence and an easy invitation for the next sip.
