Hop BroTeenage Brewing in Saitama is releasing “SHOHEI Zen IPA” on March 27 as the second SHOHEI collaboration.
MugiWhoa, that’s soon! The beer sounds zen just from the name, but what’s it actually like?
Hop BroIt’s a Persimmon DIPA, which is interesting because it brings in persimmon nuances while still giving it a satisfying heft.
MugiWhat does that even mean? What’s a DIPA anyway!? You lost me all of a sudden like it’s a spell!
Hop BroBasically, it’s like an extra-aromatic IPA. It’s a style that uses hops heavily to create a beer with a fuller, richer flavor.
MugiOhhh! And that’s the one they were surprised about in the post, saying, “Is this really persimmon?!” I’m way too curious now!
Hop BroThey’re using hops like Mosaic and Nelson Sauvin, aiming for a balance of fruitiness and richness.
MugiWhoa, so with 6.0% ABV it’s that rich? It sounds stronger than the numbers suggest, which is kind of exciting!
Hop BroThey also posted the launch footage from Shibuya Parco on March 20, so the flow into the March 27 general release is really clean.
MugiI’ve decided, I’m going to look for it on release day! Tonight I’ll do my homework with an IPA and make a Zen IPA toast plan!
