Hop BroAt the Chigasaki beer pub HOP MAN, a new tap has opened this time with karuizawaQ's "Kazamidori." It's a Session IPA at 5.0% ABV, light and easygoing but still packed with aroma.
MugiWhoa! The name Kazamidori already sounds so easy to drink! But what makes a Session IPA different from a regular IPA?
Hop BroGood question. The hallmark of a Session IPA is that it keeps the body lighter and the alcohol lower while still letting you enjoy the hop aroma.
MugiI see! So when it says citrusy and tropical, does that mean it's pretty fruity? That sounds so good!
Hop BroExactly. It layers Citra on top of Centennial, Simcoe, and Cascade, bringing out grapefruit-like aromas, tropical character, and even a subtle pine nuance.
MugiPine nuance? What is that! Does it feel like forest bathing in beer form?
Hop BroYeah, that's not far off. When we say subtle pine aroma, we mean a resinous, calm, woody scent. It's like a slightly bitter backbone that supports the brighter fruitiness.
MugiAh, I get it! And if it's dry and crisp, it must pair well with food too. Perfect for taking it slow in Chigasaki.
Hop BroExactly. One of the fun things about a beer pub like HOP MAN is being able to follow the guest taps. It's hop-forward but not too heavy, so it's an easy second beer too.
MugiNow I want to drink it just from reading about it...! A Session IPA in Chigasaki? I need to check this out right away!
Hop BroThen tonight's decided. Let's enjoy a glass with the breeze flowing through and take our time appreciating karuizawaQ's aromatic design.
