Hop BroToday's topic is Hokkaido's Noboribetsu Jibeer Oni Densetsu, and they've dropped a new batch on Instagram!
MugiWait! Is that new batch maybe the one called "Gold Oni Pale Ale"?!
Hop BroExactly. It's a classic pale ale with a great ABV 5.5% and IBU 45.
MugiIBU 45 sounds strong... does that mean the bitterness level?
Hop BroThat's right, IBU is a measure of bitterness. This one has citrus that really stands out, so the bitterness is sharply defined without feeling heavy.
MugiOh, I get it! And "not flashy but easy to drink" means it's a highly drinkable design, right!
Hop BroAnd this time it's the Comet single-hop version, so you get bright citrus like Cascade and a subtle tropical note.
MugiWhat! So "single-hop" means it's going all in with just one variety?!
Hop BroExactly. Narrowing the hops makes the character easier to see. Orders are handled as usual through SNS or email.
MugiI love how the brewery in Noboribetsu keeps refining things locally... it really feels like the strength of local brewing!
MugiJust thinking about it is making me thirsty! I want to toast with a citrus pale ale tonight!
Hop BroThat's settled, then. For the next glass, let's taste-check Gold Oni and feel how well-balanced it is!
