Hop BroY.Market Brewing in Nagoya is releasing a new beer on March 11! It's the Hazy IPA "MASTERPIECE EXCEED"!
MugiWhoa! Just the name sounds intense! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's the classic Citra and Mosaic combo, with a super hazy yellow color. It's fuller-bodied, juicy, and has a really substantial mouthfeel.
MugiWait, what does "fuller-bodied" even mean? And how can a liquid have "substance"!?
Hop BroSimply put, it means it doesn't feel watery when it hits your mouth, but more like it has a rich, velvety texture. That's the smoothness you want in a Hazy, and it makes it really satisfying.
MugiOhhh, so it's the kind of beer that smells like juice but still tastes like beer!
Hop BroExactly. It's built by layering Citra's citrus with Mosaic's berry-like character, and it's 7.0% ABV with 30.81 IBU. It keeps bitterness in check and pushes aroma to the front really well.
MugiIBU 30.81 with decimals too!? That's so nerdy I can't help laughing! But it does sound easy to drink!
Hop BroOn top of that, the hops include Citra and Mosaic plus Dynaboost and Cryo. Basically, it's a boost technique that amplifies the "richness" of the aroma. As expected from Nagoya's first craft brewery!
MugiThat's amazing! I'm definitely checking it out on March 11! I'm already totally ready to drink "MASTERPIECE EXCEED"!
