Hop BroAt the Kobe Motomachi beer pub, VERTERE's 'Iris' has just been tapped at Beer Space On Tap. That's pretty compelling news for COLD IPA fans.
MugiWait, what's a COLD IPA? You mean a cold beer? Just the name already makes it sound icy!
Hop BroGood reaction. Roughly speaking, it's an IPA that drinks clean and dry, with the hop aroma pushed forward and a crisp finish.
MugiOhhh! So what does 'Iris' taste like? Such a cute name, but blue citrus aromas sound almost too stylish all of a sudden.
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. It uses Bobek, Citra, Pacifica, and Motueka, and it's designed to bring lime and grapefruit notes to the front.
MugiBobek? Pacifica? That's basically a spell! Hearing those hop names makes me feel like I've wandered into a beer chemistry lab!
Hop BroIt does sound like a spell. But basically, the hop combination shapes the outline of the aroma. 'Iris' is ABV 6.5% and IBU 52, so it balances aroma and drinkability well.
MugiI see! And today's taps are amazing too, right? It feels like a full lineup of Japanese craft beers, and just choosing sounds fun!
Hop BroExactly. SORACHI 1984, Nara Brewing's UNDERWATER : LUMINOUS, NOVORU's Warau, ONE's Brewery's CGS-01 Contemporary Gose and '燻'けるしゅ, ISINOMAKI HOP WORKS's Makikaze Ale, and OUR BREWING's Magic Flavour are all on tap, so the strength is that you can pick based on your mood.
MugiIn the calm basement space of the hotel, being able to drink so many different beers is great. Stopping by Motomachi and comparing them one by one sounds like pure happiness.
Hop BroIn this springlike season, 'Iris' is just right with its clearly defined aroma. All right, today this is one of those beers that makes both me and Mugi want the next pour.
MugiYeah, I can't take it anymore! I want to drink it right now! If I go to Motomachi, starting with 'Iris' is the only move!
