Hop BroThere’s a fresh tap at HOP MAN in Chigasaki today. Isekadoya Beer’s Honkaku IPA just went on!
MugiWhat! Honkaku IPA already sounds serious. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt’s a classic American IPA, revived from Isekadoya Beer’s 25th anniversary release.
MugiOooh, but what makes a classic IPA different from the West Coast IPA style I keep hearing about?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. Instead of going super pale and sharp, it keeps a solid malt backbone in the flavor.
MugiWait, a backbone in a beer? Is this pint secretly doing workouts?
Hop BroExactly, and that just means the flavor has structure. The amber body carries citrus and berry aromas without feeling thin.
MugiOhhh, so it’s not just loud aroma, it also has real bitterness too?
Hop BroRight, and it balances hop presence with a clean finishing snap, so the flavor stays focused sip after sip.
MugiThat is dangerous. If I spotted it in Chigasaki, I’d order a pint immediately.
Hop BroAnd HOP MAN in Jukkenzaka is already a great place for rotating draft beer, so this tap is a bullseye for IPA fans.
MugiThen it’s settled. I want that amber-colored glass in front of me right now!
