MugiWhoa, what is that? The name already sounds strong, but a 7.7% DIPA sounds like a real punch?
Hop BroExactly. It is an Imperial IPA/Double IPA, and it comes with 77 IBU bitterness too.
MugiIBU again! And SRM 5... what is SRM 5? I thought it was some kind of code!
Hop BroSRM is a guide to color depth, and 5 means it's fairly light. So it looks easygoing, but even with a pale appearance it's still a solid IPA inside.
MugiI see! The tropical aroma in the description means pineapple- and mango-like notes, right?
Hop BroThat's right. The first sip has citrus notes, and by the end it leans piney, so the changing aroma is fun to follow.
MugiAnd even though the foam is restrained and it's easy to drink, it finishes crisp? That's what you mean by a dry finish!
Hop BroYeah, even with a slightly fuller body, it doesn't feel heavy. In a brewpub setting like Kanpai! Brewing, it works both with food and as a first drink.
MugiNow I really want to drink it! Today I'll go check out the aroma and bitterness, and then we'll toast at the end!
