Hop BroOsaka Beer Brewery in Oebashi is featuring three distinctive IPAs. Even the names are a lot of fun.
MugiWhat, three IPAs? I thought IPA means bitter beer—can they really taste that different?
Hop BroThey can! IPA puts hop aroma and bitterness front and center. You can get bright fruity aromas like citrus or tropical fruit, too.
MugiWait, aren’t hops just the bitter herb? Tropical fruit aroma sounds like my beer booked a beach vacation!
Hop BroHops carry aroma compounds as well. Their variety and when brewers add them can bring grapefruit or mango notes—basically beer’s aroma specialists.
MugiWow! So a tasting flight lets us compare not only bitterness, but different aroma personalities too!
Hop BroExactly. A JUICY IPA leans aromatic and fruit-forward, while a WEST COAST IPA is known for crisp bitterness. IPA has many different directions.
MugiAnd the beers are called “a little bitter one,” “a super bitter one,” and “I dunno, though.” Did that last beer just give up explaining itself?
Hop BroThat’s Osaka humor, but it’s a serious chance to compare bitterness and finish within one style. Starting with a gentler bitter beer is a great move.
MugiI’ll start with “a little bitter one,” then bravely finish with “I dunno, though.” I need an Oebashi IPA tasting right now!
