Hop BroI want to talk about the beer getting attention at Meguro Republic Burger&Beer, Emerald Paradise IPA.
MugiWait, that name already sounds sparkly! So this is a Tokyo Aleworks beer?
Hop BroExactly. It's a beer from Tokyo Aleworks in Itabashi, a West Coast IPA with a really clean aroma profile.
MugiWest Coast means it tastes like ocean breeze or something!? And what is dry hopping? Why does that sound like chemistry class?
Hop BroHa, it just means adding hops after fermentation to boost aroma, basically late-added hop perfume in beer form.
MugiOooh! So Nelson Sauvin, Citra, and Simcoe are like the three hop musketeers?
Hop BroPretty much, and they build an aroma layer cake of citrus, muscat grape, and tropical fruit.
MugiWow, it sounds like a fruit basket already! But with IPA, I always expect a bitterness comeback at the end.
Hop BroThat's exactly the point here. It goes down smooth first, then the bitterness stretches out into a clean two-step finish.
MugiAnd since Meguro Republic is all about burgers, I really want to try it with a burger now!
Hop BroRight, it works on its own or with food, which makes this an immediate pint craving kind of beer.
MugiDone. I need to test the citrus, muscat, and bitterness myself because my throat is ready!
