MugiWhat, already sounds refreshing! A July 18 release means this is aiming straight at peak summer!
Hop BroExactly. It is a Session IPA, so you get plenty of hop aroma without making the whole beer feel heavy.
MugiWait, Session IPA sounds like the kind of beer that tricks you into saying, "just one more" forever.
Hop BroHonestly, that is not far off. The idea is a light and dry finish that stays easy to drink, especially in hot weather.
MugiOkay, got it. So the main star here is the Motueka aroma, right? Complicated name, very promising vibe.
Hop BroRight. Motueka brings lime and citrus notes, giving the beer a bright citrus lift that feels super crisp.
MugiLime and citrus, I am in. But Styrian Wolf sounds less like a hop and more like a fantasy boss fight.
Hop BroScary name, gentle job. Here it adds a subtle lemongrass touch for layered hop character in the aroma.
MugiLime plus lemongrass? That is basically summer in a pint and now my fridge feels wildly unprepared.
Hop BroAnd Hop Gear Brewing is all about bringing beer from Honjo to the world, so this local brewery release feels like one I want to open the day it lands.
MugiThen it is settled. On July 18, we chill the glasses and say I need this now before the first sip even happens.
