Taru Taru in Takamatsu Pours Nara Brewing’s CAMOUFLAGE Hazy IPA
Taru Taru, a beer pub in Takamatsu, is featuring CAMOUFLAGE, Nara Brewing’s 8th-anniversary Hazy IPA. Built with Mosaic, Simcoe, and Galaxy, plus wheat, oats, and lactose, the 6% beer aims for a soft body, vivid fruit aroma, and an easy finish.
Hop BroLet me start with something from Takamatsu, because Taru Taru's latest pour really stands out. They’ve got Nara Brewing’s 8th anniversary Hazy IPA, CAMOUFLAGE.
MugiWhat! An 8th anniversary Hazy IPA already sounds intense. And with a name like CAMOUFLAGE, does it make me sneak around unnoticed?
Hop BroIt won’t hide you, but the aroma definitely makes a move. It’s a three-hop lineup with Mosaic, Simcoe, and Galaxy, plus wheat, oats, and even lactose in a 6% build.
MugiNo way, a lactose-added beer? Does that mean beer suddenly joins the dessert club in the glass?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It’s there for a soft, rounded mouthfeel, not just sweetness. It smooths out the juicy character and keeps the beer easy to drink.
MugiHuh, neat! But what does West Coast-like definition even mean? Does this beer have a side profile now?
Hop BroIn a way, yes. That defined bitterness means it stays juicy and hazy without turning blurry. Simcoe brings grapefruit, Galaxy adds passion fruit and peach, and Mosaic layers in tropical notes with tangerine.
MugiThat sounds ridiculously fun. Cloudy but still crisp is such a wild combo. Soft-looking, juicy-smelling, and then a clean finish? That’s a lot going on in one sip.
Hop BroAnd finding it at Taru Taru in Kawaramachi makes it even better. It’s the kind of beer where temperature changes matter, so I’d smell it first and follow how it opens up.
MugiThen I’m officially the aroma check captain before the first sip. I just need to avoid sniffing so hard that I feel done before drinking it.
Hop BroThat’s the right attitude. Anniversary beers like this let you taste the brewer’s intent too, not just the flavor. A glass of CAMOUFLAGE sounds very worth slowing down for.
MugiNow I absolutely want one. I’m fully in a Takamatsu beer mood already, and I want to chase that juicy aroma and light finish with you.
Taru Taru, a beer pub in Kawaramachi, Takamatsu, featured CAMOUFLAGE, the 8th-anniversary Hazy IPA from Nara Brewing. The beer is built with Mosaic, Simcoe, and Galaxy hops, with wheat, oats, and lactose shaping a softer body at 6% ABV. Instead of chasing heaviness alone, it aims for a rounded mouthfeel and an easygoing finish.
The aroma brings grapefruit from Simcoe, plus passion fruit and peach from Galaxy, while Mosaic adds tropical fruit and tangerine notes. It is a Hazy IPA, but the post also points to a West Coast IPA-like edge, giving the beer both juiciness and structure. The result is a beer that moves from a hazy, fruit-forward nose to a clean, lightly dry finish.
For Taru Taru, a beer pub in one of Takamatsu’s drinking districts, guest beer posts like this are part of the appeal. Beers with a clear story, such as Nara Brewing’s anniversary release, make it easy to enjoy both the brewing idea and the flavor. If CAMOUFLAGE is on tap, it is worth starting with the aroma and then following how it opens up as the glass warms.
