Totopia Brewery Releases New Pink Guava-Scented DH Sour IPA "Pinphobia"
Totopia Brewery, based in Nagakute, Aichi, has announced its new DH Sour IPA, "Pinphobia." This beer layers pink guava, passion fruit, vanilla, and pandan, with B2B sales starting at 3:00 PM on May 26 and B2C sales starting at 7:00 PM on May 29.
Hop BroHere comes the news of Pinphobia's release from Totopia Brewery. The brewery in Nagakute, Aichi, is bringing out a new DH Sour IPA scented with pink guava.
MugiWhat! A beer called Pinphobia sounds way too delicious! And with guava and passion fruit too? That's basically a tropical temptation.
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. It's a DH Sour IPA, with an ABV of 6.0%. It's designed to showcase bright drinkability through acidity while still getting plenty of hop character in there.
MugiWhat even is DH? It sounds like a spell. And Sour IPA is sour, but it's still an IPA? My brain is getting fuzzy.
Hop BroThink of DH as extra dry hopping. It's a method of adding hops after heating to layer in aroma, and here they used Motueka and Waimea Hop Kief.
MugiHop kief? That sounds like a secret weapon! But what kind of aroma does that create?
Hop BroThe stars of the aroma are a tropical trio. Pink guava, passion fruit, and vanilla, finished with the gentle spice of pandan.
MugiWow, the sweetness and acidity sound perfectly balanced! Even though it's sour, it doesn't seem sharp or harsh, but instead lands with a soft sweetness. Sounds really easy to drink.
Hop BroExactly. The description says that bright acidity is layered with gentle sweetness, then finished with a spicy note. Very Totopia, with the hop character still firmly at the core.
MugiAnd the staged release is interesting too! B2B starts on May 26 at 3:00 PM, and B2C starts on May 29 at 7:00 PM. It's something to look forward to while waiting for everyone to be able to drink it.
Hop BroA rising brewery that started in Nagakute in 2022 coming out with such an adventurous beer is exciting. I want a glass right now just to check out the aroma.
MugiTotally! Put it on the list for tonight's beer pick and dive into that pink guava aroma!
Totopia Brewery has unveiled its new Pinphobia (Fear of Pins). The style is DH Sour IPA, with an ABV of 6.0%. It uses Motueka and Waimea Hop Kief, creating a composition that adds fruit and spice elements.
The post explicitly states that pink guava, passion fruit, vanilla, and pandan are used. In terms of aroma, it says tropical notes spread across the palate, a firm refreshing acidity is layered with gentle sweetness, and the finish is tightened by pandan-derived spice. The English description also highlights the balance of tropical aroma, bright sourness, soft sweetness, and gentle spiciness as defining traits.
Sales will roll out in stages. B2B sales for business customers will begin at 3:00 PM on May 26, while B2C sales for consumers will begin at 7:00 PM on May 29.
