Hop BroPORT LUCK CLUB in Sendai just tapped VERTERE’s new keg of Acca. It’s labeled an NZ IPA, but it clearly has Hazy IPA appeal too.
MugiWait, NZ IPA but hazy? Isn’t that two job titles at once? Beer has alter egos now?
Hop BroPretty much. It’s an IPA driven by two NZ hops, and the pub is presenting it with that hazy softness in mind.
MugiTwo-hop combo already sounds like chemistry class. So what does that actually do to the flavor?
Hop BroIt pushes out bright tropical aromas like grapefruit and passion fruit. Then the oats bring in a really smooth texture.
MugiHold on, silky mouthfeel? Why does that sound like we’re reviewing a scarf instead of a beer?
Hop BroHa, it just means soft and smooth. Less sharp bitterness or prickly fizz, more easygoing drinkability.
MugiOooh, and at 6.5%, aroma with some heft sounds dangerous in the best way. Like one glass disappears fast dangerous.
Hop BroExactly. PORT LUCK CLUB is great at rotating guest taps, so when a standout like this shows up, it matters.
MugiIf Miyamachi gets pours like that, book me for Sendai right now! First we sniff it, then we go silent and drink.
Hop BroThat’s the move. VERTERE’s Acca is all about lively hop perfume and that pillowy texture. Reading this already made me thirsty.
MugiSame here! At PORT LUCK CLUB, my hazy craving is spiking. I want that grapefruity nose and a happy little cheers.
