Hop BroKanazawa's BREW CLASSIC just showed off four beers on Instagram, including a tiger-striped IPA, and that lineup is hard to ignore.
MugiWait, a tiger-striped IPA? That sounds so intense I feel like the can might roar at me.
Hop BroThe label literally says SUPERDELIC, STRATA & SIMCOE, plus IPA 6.5% and Brewed in Kanazawa, so the hop character is clearly the main event.
MugiWhat is that, a trio of hops or the names of space heroes? I need a translation here!
Hop BroThink of it as an aroma blueprint: tropical notes, citrus, a little pine, all stacked to make the flavor outline pop.
MugiAnd then you get Doris no Jaguaro, Tuatara, and Konomgitsuneme with serious name energy. That lineup sounds like a fantasy party.
Hop BroThat is the fun part: those are three different styles. Doris no Jaguaro is a Belgian IPA, Tuatara is a Hazy IPA, and Konomgitsuneme is a West Coast Pilsner.
MugiHold on, West Coast Pilsner? So a pilsner borrowed an IPA jacket and decided to act cool?
Hop BroHonestly, that's close. It keeps a crisp lager base and layers in punchy hop aroma and bitterness, so the style differences are easy to compare.
MugiAlso, BREW CLASSIC is a brewery by Kanazawa Port, and they still pour it at their Katamachi taproom? That is dangerously convenient.
Hop BroYep, they keep six draft beers on tap plus cans, and with World Beer Cup gold-level beer and fresh releases in the mix, I kind of want a glass right now.
MugiThen it's settled, the tiger IPA first, and after that I want the full four-beer comparison flight.
