Hop BroBreaking news from Fukui: Betococo Brewing's Drop Sunset is already on tap!
MugiWait, it’s already drinkable?! And I heard cans are coming too, so does that mean sales start on 3/21 (Sat.)?
Hop BroThat’s right. The style is DDH Pale Ale, designed to really bring out the aroma.
MugiWhat the heck! DDH sounds like a spell... what even is DDH?
Hop BroSimply put, it’s a method that adds a lot of hops in two stages, so think of it as a super-charged aroma method.
MugiOhhh! So that sweet-tart aroma they mention, like orange and berries, comes from the hops!
Hop BroExactly. With Mosaic, Idaho Gem, and Mosaic Cryo, they’re aiming for a light, juicy balance at ABV 5.0% and IBU 16.
MugiHearing the numbers makes it feel all scientific! But that does sound like it won’t be too bitter, so it feels like the perfect spring beer!
Hop BroTheir Fukui and Awara City presence is strong too, and I think this is a new Fukui craft label that lets you taste the atmosphere of the Awara Onsen area as well.
MugiDecision made! Draft today, cans next, and I want one right now, I need to drink this ASAP~!
