MugiWhoa! That already sounds delicious! Just the name Yuzu Hazy IPA sounds tasty!
Hop BroAnd the design is good too. It uses yuzu peel and juice, so the aroma opens up in a really springlike way.
MugiWhat? So what exactly makes a Hazy IPA hazy in the first place?
Hop BroSimply put, it's a murky IPA with a soft mouthfeel and juicy character, a style where the bitterness doesn't come across as sharp.
MugiHuh! So that number, IBU 12, how do you read it? Is it strong?
Hop BroIBU is a rough bitterness guide, and the bitterness is pretty mild. Plus, with Alc 5.8%, it still has a solid drinkable body.
MugiPerfect balance! If you're pairing food, what should it go with?
Hop BroThe suggested pairing is strong: peperoncino with firefly squid and rape blossoms, where the citrus aroma and spring umami fit together.
MugiToo stylish! That's the kind of thing where you spend the whole day going back and forth between beer and pasta!
Hop BroIt's close to the station near Skytree too, and with hours from 17:30 to 23:00, you can drop in for just one drink.
MugiIt's settled! Tonight, let's toast on the day the Yuzu Hazy is tapped in Oshiage!
At the foot of Tokyo Skytree, ROMEO BREWERY, which serves house-brewed beer in the Oshiage area, tapped a new release in its March 4 service (17:30-23:00).
The new arrival is Yuzu Hazy IPA. The post explains that it is brewed with fresh yuzu peel and juice, and that the bitterness from citrusy hops such as Amarillo overlaps with the pleasantly bitter note of yuzu. The specs are Alc 5.8% / IBU 12. It balances the juicy character expected of a Hazy IPA with enough body to feel substantial.
The food pairing suggestion is "Peperoncino with firefly squid and rape blossoms". The intent is to pair the citrus aroma and light bitterness with the flavor of spring ingredients, making this a combination not to miss for anyone who wants to enjoy the back-and-forth between beer and food.
