CRAFT BEER Antonbee Roppongi taps Ise Kadoya's DDH Citra Hazy IPA
At CRAFT BEER Antonbee Roppongi (B1F, 5-1-5 Roppongi, Minato-ku), Ise Kadoya's DDH Citra Hazy IPA was tapped on April 30. The tap list featured 12 total selections, including sour, cider, Belgian white, and light lager, and the shop also announced its Golden Week business hours.
Hop BroThere is good news from the basement in Roppongi: DDH Citra Hazy IPA is on tap at Antonbee Roppongi. It's being introduced as a beer that brings out both aroma and bitterness in Ise Kadoya's style.
MugiWait! Fruity! Bitter-bitter! That already sounds intense, but what does it taste like?
Hop BroBecause Citra hops are the star, a bright citrusy aroma really comes through. And since this one has a solid bitterness too, the nice thing is that even as a Hazy IPA it doesn't finish too sweet.
MugiWhoa, what's DDH anyway, some kind of spell? If you say it twice, does the beer multiply?
Hop BroIt's basically a spell, but it stands for double dry hop. It's a method where hops are added again after fermentation to make the aroma stand out more strongly.
MugiWhat! Extra hop aroma, that's almost cheating! And with 12 IPA-centered selections, it sounds like you'll get lost before you even choose.
Hop BroThe taps that day were quite broad, and what's interesting is that they ranged from sours to light lagers. For example, there were ciders, Belgian whites, and even rice koji saisons, so it's easy to switch gears depending on your mood.
MugiWow, being able to clear your palate with cider is great! I'm a little worried about nonstop bitterness, but with this I can have fun.
Hop BroExactly. Ise Kadoya also has Nikukyu IPA on the list, so it's like a reward day for hop lovers. If you start with IPA and then weave in a sour or cider, you can make the highs and lows of the flavor really clear.
MugiAnd you can do that in Roppongi? That's powerful! Stopping by after work is basically an invitation.
Hop BroThey also posted their Golden Week hours: weekdays from 5 p.m., Saturdays from 2 p.m., and Sundays and holidays until 10 p.m. Draft beer all night in Roppongi - that's the kind of thing you can just put into tonight's plan.
MugiCount me in! I want to be wrapped in Citra's aroma tonight, and I want to work in some cider too!
Hop BroIt's settled, then: start with a glass of DDH Citra Hazy IPA, then move from tap to tap as the mood takes you. We're going out for drinks tonight - that's what this article was saying.
