Hop BroToday’s topic is the freshly tapped beer at Mihama Base in Inage-Kaigan, and this one is worth talking about.
MugiWait, the name includes Panda and Me? That is way too cute for me to stay calm about!
Hop BroIt’s Yellow Beer Works’ raiNing Panda to Boku no session IPA, a beer from the Fukushima brewery, and it comes in at 5.0% ABV.
MugiOooh! But what even is a session IPA? It sounds like an IPA that schedules meetings!
Hop BroFair question. It usually means an easy-drinking IPA with lower alcohol, so you still get the hop aroma without the beer feeling too heavy.
MugiThat actually sounds approachable! And if it smells like white peach and pineapple, that’s basically a tropical vacation in a glass.
Hop BroExactly, and then citrusy bitterness like grapefruit and hassaku tightens everything up after that soft mouthfeel.
MugiHold on, when you say dry finish, why does the beer suddenly sound like it has a spreadsheet and a promotion?
Hop BroIt just means the sweetness cleans up fast on the finish, so it feels crisp instead of sticky, and that makes it very drinkable.
MugiThat sounds dangerous in the best way. I can already see myself entering the just one more zone!
Hop BroMihama Base also has a broad lineup, from staples to Hazy, pilsner, and stout, plus takeout options for bottles and cans. Just check the schedule since they’re closed on the 23rd and 24th, then open on the 25th.
MugiPerfect. I want to start with that light refreshing pour and compare it with the regular taps. After hearing all this, I absolutely want a glass.
