Hop BroThe Yokkaichi beer pub craft beer HOP CROWD updated its tap list, and two new kegs were added.
MugiWhat? Just two new kegs is enough to get me excited already, but what did they bring in?
Hop BroFirst up is Noboribetsu Jibeer Oni Densetsu's Kinoni Pale Ale Comet ver. It has citrus character and a subtle tropical note, while still being a well-balanced pale ale.
MugiComet ver.? What is that, does it mean it uses Comet hops?
Hop BroExactly. It means the hop variety's nuances really come through. It's a well-balanced pour that is not too flashy, but still has plenty of aroma.
MugiNice! The other one, Neltra-san, already sounds interesting, and it feels a little cat-like too!
Hop BroIt's NEKO BEER's DDH West Coast IPA, with a crisp drinking profile, citrus aroma, and a pleasant bitterness.
MugiThere it is again, DDH! That's double dry-hopped, right? Sounds intense!
Hop BroThat's right. It's a method of adding hops in two stages to build up the aroma. So it's a great fit for anyone who wants to enjoy the hop character as it is.
MugiAnd with Pizzapils, Ultra Heaven, and even cider on top of that, isn't this basically a comparison tasting paradise?
Hop BroYou can go from pilsner to IPA to dessert stout all in one place, and it is nice that you can settle in and drink near Yokkaichi Station. Tonight is definitely the kind of night that makes you want to have a drink at HOP CROWD.
