Three spring selections from Open Air Brewing (Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture) have arrived at "Nippon no Craft Beer Koguma Sake Shop Sendai Station East Exit Main Store" in Miyagino Ward, Sendai City. Centered on West Coast IPA and Hazy IPA, the lineup lets you enjoy the differences in aroma.
Hop BroThere's a new arrival at Koguma Sake Shop near Sendai Station East Exit. Open Air Brewing's three spring selections are lined up, and it's a really fun lineup for IPA fans.
MugiWhoa! Three beers arrived at once? You can't choose with that, I want all of them!
Hop BroFirst up is `stratosphere`, a West Coast IPA. With Strata hops, it brings passion fruit, grapefruit, and a dank edge - a crisp spring-style beer.
MugiWhat's dank? Sounds like some powerful baseball smash or something, but what does it mean for beer?
Hop BroGood question. Here, dank means a deep, green hop character. It's an expression for grassy and resinous notes that make the aroma feel much deeper.
MugiOhhh! Then `cosmic tiger` is the opposite? Just hearing Hazy IPA already makes it sound soft and sweet!
Hop BroExactly. `cosmic tiger` is a limited version of `cosmic cat`, finished with more ABV and more hops. It brings lychee, coconut, and orange from Dolcita hops, so the aroma is pretty flashy.
MugiLychee, coconut, and orange? That's way too much of a fruit party! Even though it's beer, it sounds like dessert!
Hop BroAnd `hop viking` is a Kveik-yeast-brewed Hazy IPA. With Idaho 7 at the core and Elani plus Sabro added, sweet pineapple notes and juicy character come to the front.
MugiKveik yeast is a new one for me! It's Norwegian yeast, right? Just the name sounds strong, and I'm already excited before even drinking it!
Hop BroExactly. And this time the best part is that three beers with different aroma profiles are lined up. The crisp `stratosphere`, the bright `cosmic tiger`, and the juicy `hop viking` - drink them in order and you'll fall down the rabbit hole.
MugiThis is definitely a detour in Sendai! If we do a spring hop tasting, there's no way we're going home!
