Hop BroThere’s a freshly tapped feature at ALE HOUSE Kamiya in Doyamacho. It’s Kuni no Cho Beer’s Hassaku Overdrive, and the name already sounds like it’s flooring the gas pedal.
MugiWhat! Hassaku Overdrive sounds like a citrus fruit and a special attack at the same time! I’m already curious.
Hop BroAnd the beer comes in a White IPA style. It uses plenty of hassaku peel and juice, so you get bright fruit aroma with a solid IPA outline.
MugiWait, what is White IPA even supposed to mean? I instantly pictured some pale final boss with huge attack stats!
Hop BroPut simply, it’s a wit-like IPA. You get the lighter, softer feel of a wheat beer with hop aroma layered on top, so it drinks really smoothly.
MugiOhhh! So with hassaku peel and juice in there, that’s basically the entire refreshment squad showing up together!
Hop BroExactly, and the best part is the layered citrus character. Hassaku aroma overlaps with hop-driven citrus notes, then a gentle bitterness and light acidity pull it all together.
MugiWow, that sounds perfect for hot days. Crisp but still fragrant enough to linger? My throat reacted before my brain did!
Hop BroPlus ALE HOUSE Kamiya is a basement beer pub open from 17:00 to 29:00 on weekdays and 15:00 to 29:00 on weekends. That makes it a strong late-night stop around Umeda.
MugiTwenty-nine o’clock is full pub crawl mode. Being good for both an after-work pint and the last stop of the night is kind of amazing!
Hop BroThey also post keg updates on stories, so a targeted check-in before you go is the smart move. Talking about it this much has fully made me want a glass.
MugiSame! I want a pint now. Let’s go get citrusy and hit overdrive the proper way!
