Hop BroBig summer news out of Asahikawa: Tropics from Above drops on Friday, August 14. It's a new Yeasters release tied to Freehouse-THE YEAST, with a Guava Hazy IPA and a Pineapple Hazy IPA.
MugiWait, a two-beer release ? That's basically a mini festival! Two Hazy IPAs at once makes me want to salute the fridge.
Hop BroGuava Hazy IPA uses Riwaka, Nelson Sauvin, and Galaxy. You get juicy guava, plus white-grape and lime-like aromas, and it still finishes a bit dry at ABV 7.0%.
MugiHold on, a dry finish in a hazy? What does that even mean? I thought hazy always meant full-on smoothie mode!
Hop BroIt means the aroma stays sharp. It looks cloudy, but it doesn't drink heavy, so the fruit notes pop instead of getting buried.
MugiOhhh, cloudy but snappy ! That's like someone showing up in slippers and then outrunning everybody at work. I respect it.
Hop BroPineapple Hazy IPA packs Azacca, Citra, Motueka, and Galaxy, so it leans into ripe pineapple with citrus and lime trailing behind. Same ABV 7.0%, lots of tropical energy.
MugiWhat is this, a hop roll call ? Those names sound like a wizard squad, but pineapple and lime together already tastes like summer in my head.
Hop BroAnd the post hints that mixing the two reveals one more tropical fruit note that only shows up together. That's the kind of trick that makes me want both pours on the spot.
MugiThen it's settled, August 14 release means we head straight to Freehouse-THE YEAST for both. Now I'm losing sleep over whether I start with guava or pineapple.
A Yeasters Instagram post related to Freehouse-THE YEAST, a beer pub in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, announced a new release called Tropics from Above. The release date is August 14. The lineup consists of two beers: Guava Hazy IPA and Pineapple Hazy IPA, both listed at 7.0% ABV.
Guava Hazy IPA is brewed with Riwaka, Nelson Sauvin, and Galaxy. The post describes a juicy guava profile layered with white grape, lime, and tropical fruit notes, with a dry finish that keeps the beer from feeling overly sweet.
Pineapple Hazy IPA uses Azacca, Citra, Motueka, and Galaxy. It leans into ripe pineapple sweetness, then adds citrus, lime, and more tropical fruit character. Yeasters also notes that blending the two reveals a third tropical-fruit expression that does not appear in either beer alone.
Freehouse-THE YEAST, located on 6-jo-dori in central Asahikawa, is the kind of beer pub where a release like this fits naturally: a place to compare aromas, check the finish, and take time over a pint. For hop-forward drinkers, this looks like a straightforward but interesting double release with a clear fruit-driven profile.
