Hop BroAt Saiougauama in Sannomiya, Kobe, they just tapped STAY GOLD #2, a reworked version of their anniversary beer.
MugiWhat! And it is only four kegs total? That is the kind of beer that disappears in a blink!
Hop BroThe style is DDH West Coast IPA, and it rebuilds last year's popular STAY GOLD with updated hops and yeast.
MugiHold on, that is a spellbook-level name. What does DDH even mean?
Hop BroDDH means a heavier dry-hop approach, and this one finishes lean and dry, so the hop aroma stands out more clearly.
MugiOhhh, so it is not just bitter, it is more like an aroma-first IPA!
Hop BroExactly. With simcoe, citra, mosaic, and nelson sauvin, they are pushing pineapple and passion fruit notes right up front.
MugiNo way, that sounds like tropical dessert! But incognito hop addition sounds like a secret agent operation.
Hop BroThat is the fun part. It means liquid hops go straight into the fermenter instead of DIP HOP, and they switched to chico ale yeast for a sharper hop-forward profile.
MugiOkay, now I am sold. If Sannomiya has this on now, I want a glass immediately, and you are absolutely coming with me.
Hop BroObviously. At Saiougauama, this feels like a beer made for cheers, especially if you want crisp bitterness and vivid hop edges.
