Yamorido releases NZ Wheat IPA “Makomako” in Kyoto Fushimi
Yamorido, a brewpub in Kyoto’s Fushimi area, has announced the release of its NZ Wheat IPA “Makomako.” The tap list also features seven house beers plus two guest pours, making it a strong stop for beer comparison.
Hop BroYamorido in Kyoto just released NZ Wheat IPA 'Makomako'. And with seven house beers on tap too, this is basically a perfect day for a tasting flight.
MugiWait, the name is already cute! Makomako sounds like either a tropical bird or a beer that makes you start dancing.
Hop BroHere's the fun part: it's a wheat-forward IPA with a serious hop lineup. Pale and wheat malts, then Motueka, Nelson Sauvin, Riwaka, plus Citra CRYO, Mosaic, and Idaho 7 for melon, orange, and pineapple-like aromas.
MugiWhat is that, Citra CRYO? It sounds like a special move! Do they blast the tank with frozen hops until it turns tropical?
Hop BroGreat energy, wrong science. Concentrated hop aroma means they pack in the fragrant parts of the hop, so you get big aroma with less green bite. IBU 50 is the bitterness level, and ABV 6.5% is the alcohol content.
MugiOhhh! If a soft wheat texture wraps around the bitterness, even IPA-scared me could probably enjoy that.
Hop BroAnd today's lineup is stacked with seven house beers. Chakabuki, Makomako, Minamikaze, SKIP, Gogo no Stout, Chakabuki Shincha ver., and Nanamin are all pouring, plus the guest beers Oscura Dorada and HOP SUMMIT.
MugiHold on, two guest taps too? That's not a tap list, that's my taste buds getting assigned overtime!
Hop BroTalking about it makes me want a slow Fushimi tasting myself. Yamorido feels like the kind of brewpub where you settle in and really compare what each beer is doing.
MugiThen it's settled, straight to Yamorido! I'm starting with Makomako, then chasing it with Chakabuki and Nanamin until I happily lose track of time.
