Hop BroAt beer bar Cyblume in Maruyamacho, Shibuya Ward, Kyoto Brewing’s guest beer “HOP IDOL Cashmere” is on tap. This time, it’s a beer with Cashmere hops in the starring role.
MugiWhat! Is “Cashmere” the name of a hop? I only knew cashmere as the fluffy fabric!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. This is a beer in Kyoto Brewing’s HOP IDOL series, and the style is Oat Cream IPA. They use oats to give it a softer mouthfeel.
MugiOat Cream IPA? Creamy, but IPA? My brain is all bouncy like beer foam now!
Hop BroTo put it simply, it keeps the hop character of an IPA while adding a smooth mouthfeel from oats. It’s designed to delight you with aroma and texture, not just bitterness.
MugiWow! And the aroma is citrus and tropical, so it already feels like a trip to the tropics before you even drink it!
Hop BroExactly. Cashmere hops tend to give impressions of citrus, plus papaya and mango. The ABV is 6.5%, so it’s easy to keep going because the aroma pulls you along, but it’s also a beer you’ll want to savor slowly.
Mugi6.5% is actually pretty solid, huh! But if it’s creamy, maybe it looks strong but is gentle after all.
Hop BroExactly. In a place like Cyblume, where the guest beers keep changing, it’s fun to come across a limited-feel beer like this.
MugiIf there are encounters like that in Shibuya, I want to go! Tonight, it’s Cyblume for chasing hop aroma!
Hop BroThat settles it. Kyoto Brewing’s “HOP IDOL Cashmere” is a pretty strong pick for the IPA I want to drink right now.
