Hop BroA new beer has been tapped at the Chigasaki beer pub HOP MAN: ISEKADO's 'Hop Nyaon 11th Fleet' is on. If you like DDH Hazy IPA, this is one you can't miss.
MugiWhat! The 11th Hop Nyaon already? There are that many fleets now!? Is it a cat or a ship? My head is floating a little here~!
Hop BroWhat's more, this one uses Galaxy and Enigma plus Idaho7 Cryo. Australian hops are the star, and the aroma really jumps out.
MugiWhat is that! Idaho7 Cryo sounds like some kind of future gear just from the name! Giving a beer sudden outer-space vibes like that is unfair!
Hop BroSimply put, it's a way of using hop aroma compounds in a more concentrated, easier-to-use form. So the tropical aroma comes forward more easily, and the passion fruit-like character is especially clear.
MugiWhoa! Just hearing passion fruit vibes makes me want to drink it! And with white grape and berry notes too, it's like a treasure hunt for aromas!
Hop BroExactly. Like any DDH Hazy IPA, the juicy mouthfeel is part of the appeal too. It's 7.0% ABV and 50 IBU, so it's rich but still balanced for easy drinking.
MugiWait, 7.0% and still easy to drink!? That's the kind of beer where you accidentally say, 'I could have another one!' right?
Hop BroAnd the label has that playful cat motif, so it still feels properly limited. Not just the taste, but the look is already fun, which feels very ISEKADO.
MugiThat sounds amazing. Drinking slowly at a second-floor beer pub in Chigasaki sounds perfect! I'd want to debate whether to go in through the aroma first or the mouthfeel first while I drink~!
Hop BroIn the end, with a beer like this, the impression changes depending on whether you enjoy the aroma first or take your time chasing the flavor. So tonight, should we board this fleet at HOP MAN too?
MugiLet's board! If we set sail on hop aroma, it feels like we might never make it back! First one, no, make that two, please!
