Hop BroTomigaya just got a fun new pour: Tamsan's guest tap is LIBUSHI's Hazy IPA, "Haze or Haze Not."
MugiWait, that title is so dramatic! Haze or Haze Not. sounds like the beer is asking me life questions.
Hop BroIt's a Hazy IPA at 7.5% ABV, with juicy citrus, tropical notes, and even a berry edge, but it still finishes pretty dry.
MugiWhoa, but dry finish and hazy together? I thought hazy always meant smoothie-level sweetness.
Hop BroThat's the clever part. It keeps an orange-like bitterness and doesn't let the sweetness linger, so you get clean-cut sweetness instead of a sticky finish.
MugiWhat is that! Sounds crushable, but 7.5% is sneaky heavyweight territory. That's the kind that stands up after I sit down.
Hop BroAnd the hops are Strata, Columbass, and Amarillo. That kind of hop layering builds the citrus, tropical fruit, and berry character.
MugiLayering? What, like hop lasagna? Hop layering makes my brain picture beer with pastry sheets.
Hop BroHonestly, hop lasagna is not the worst image. It just means the aromas stack in stages, so stacked aroma is the easy way to think about it.
MugiAnd Tamsan in Tomigaya has 15 taps and a casual stop-by vibe, right? I need a pour just to test this hop lasagna theory.
Hop BroExactly, and the laid-back Yoyogi Park area fits this beer well. When we drink it, watch for the first aroma and how the sweetness drops away.
MugiDone. Cloudy look, crisp exit, and day-drinking sounds perfect. Let's drink this at Tamsan.
