Fidens Double Hazy 'Alstroemeria' Tapped at Two Fingers in Ikebukuro
The beer pub Two Fingers in Nishi-Ikebukuro, Tokyo has tapped Fidens Brewing's Double Hazy IPA 'Alstroemeria.' The beer is said to carry aromas reminiscent of pineapple, mango, and pine resin, and the lineup for the day also includes house brews and taps from Japan and overseas.
Hop BroAt Two Fingers in Nishi-Ikebukuro, Fidens Brewing's Alstroemeria is on tap. It's a Double Hazy IPA, and the name alone makes it sound packed with aroma.
MugiWhoa, Alstroemeria sounds like a flower! But what makes a Double Hazy IPA "double"?
Hop BroIn short, it means the hops and body are both richer. The alcohol presence and aroma density go up, and the juiciness really comes forward.
MugiI see! So that's why the article mentioned pineapple and mango. That's the dangerous kind that feels like tropical juice!
Hop BroExactly, and the pine-resin-like aroma is what makes it interesting. It isn't just sweet tropical character; the IPA's green edge sharpens it.
MugiWait, what's a Helles? Suddenly a German breeze blew in!
Hop BroHelles is a lager style, and its charm is a clean malt character. Two Fingers has 'Highway to Helles' and 'Garage' on tap, plus 'Shunrai' and 'Re: Nama Grauzy,' so the range is wide.
MugiWhoa, the tap list is so luxurious! Once the overseas beers come in too, it's hard to know where to start!
Hop BroIf you're unsure, start with the Hazy. Begin with Fidens' 'Alstroemeria,' then move through Monkish and Rodenbach to Old Rasputin, and you get a lineup you can travel through according to your mood.
MugiMakes sense, it's a tasting paradise! Right near the Nishi-Ikebukuro station, with Maki-san and Tan-kun guiding us, I feel like I'd end up lingering from the first pint!
Hop BroNights like that feel like a Wednesday treat. Start by diving into the aroma with Alstroemeria, then layer on another style after that, and you'll be in no shape to head home.
MugiYeah, I want my first drink right now! First Alstroemeria, then Helles, and finally a nitro stout to finish!
