At the brewpub Yamorido in Kyoto's Fushimi, the popular American IPA "Ushigoroshi" has been tapped.

Hop BroHot update from Fushimi! Yamorido has tapped the popular Ushigoroshi, and the American IPA is back.
MugiWhoa! That name goes hard! What does Ushigoroshi taste like?
Hop BroIt's a classic American IPA: ABV 6.0% and IBU 52, with firm bitterness and a bright aroma.
MugiIBU 52 sounds like science class! What is IBU anyway, some kind of beer IQ score?
Hop BroNice one! IBU is a measure of bitterness, and this one is firmly bitter, but not in a sharp, hard-to-drink way.
MugiOhhh! Then what about the aroma? There are so many hop names in the post, it's hilarious, like a spell incantation!
Hop BroWith a four-hop lineup of Mosaic, Simcoe, Citra, and HBC682, plus BRY-97 yeast, it balances fruitiness and crispness.
MugiWhat, that's seriously intense! And they even revised the malt to make it a lighter-drinking design? That's craftsmanship.
Hop BroExactly. And right now Yamorido's tap list is six house beers plus two guest beers, including TOSACO and Brasserie Knot, so it's basically a tasting paradise.
MugiIt's decided! Start with Ushigoroshi, then rest with a saison or pilsner, and today let's have a drink in Fushimi!
The brewpub Yamorido, located in Nakayokakecho, Fushimi Ward, Kyoto City, announced the release of its American IPA Ushigoroshi in an Instagram post. The post also referenced discontinued labels Fushimi no Chou Akaoni and Diguru, while noting the switch to a new tap lineup.
