drifter’s stand in Togoshi Ginza highlights TOTOPIA Brewery’s latest Hazy trio
drifter’s stand, the Togoshi Ginza beer pub in Tokyo, introduced three Hazy beers from TOTOPIA Brewery. The lineup spans Noxphobia, Flashphobia and Invasionphobia, each built around a different hop bill and flavor profile.
Hop BroTogoshi Ginza’s drifter’s stand is featuring TOTOPIA Brewery’s trio right now. Having Noxphobia, Flashphobia, and Invasionphobia lined up together makes for a great Hazy comparison.
MugiWait, a triple Hazy lineup!? Even the names sound intense. It feels like three final bosses are hanging out in the fridge!
Hop BroFirst up, Noxphobia is a DH Hazy Double IPA made with Citra, Superdelic, and Motueka. It’s smooth on the palate, with melon-like sweetness and a clean, moderate bitterness.
MugiHold on, what does DH mean again!? That already sounds like wizard language, and my brain is getting hazy before my glass does!
Hop BroThink of DH as extra aroma hopping at the finish. You add hops late so the aroma jumps forward without pushing the bitterness too hard.
Hop BroThen Flashphobia is a 2x Mash DDH Imperial Hazy IPA, and peach and honey lemon rise behind its dank, woody character. The mix of Citra, Nectaron, Motueka, and Grapefruit Kush makes it really expressive.
MugiWow, dank and woody plus peach too!? That flavor profile is so busy I need a notebook just to keep up!
Hop BroLast is Invasionphobia, a 2x Mash DDH Hazy TIPA, where thick ripe fruit hits first. It uses Krush, Nectaron, Motueka, and Nelson Sauvin Hop Kief, then trails off with a resinous finish.
MugiWhat is Hop Kief!? That sounds less like brewing and more like some secret gadget a hop scientist pulls from a pocket!
Hop BroIt’s basically a concentrated aroma layer from the hop side of things. Putting these three side by side at drifter’s stand makes TOTOPIA’s Hazy range really easy to understand.
MugiThen this is officially a compare-and-drink mission! Starting with melon, moving through peach and dankness, then finishing on resin sounds way too fun.
Hop BroTaken in order, it’s basically a Hazy textbook flight. If those three were in front of me in Togoshi Ginza, I’d want to toast before I finished the explanation.
