The beer pub diagonal in Kofu, Yamanashi, has announced a first-time guest from karuizawaQ: a session IPA brewed with Citra, Motueka and Centennial hops and served from a 10-liter keg.
Hop BroAt diagonal in Kofu, they just tapped a karuizawaQ Session IPA. A first-time brewery showing up always gets my attention.
MugiWhat! A first-time brewery in the guest slot already sounds exciting, and finding it right in town makes it even better!
Hop BroAnd the hop bill is Citra, Motueka, Centennial. That combo usually pushes bright citrus while keeping the sweetness in check.
MugiWait, what is a hop bill? Why did that suddenly sound like brewing wizard math?
Hop BroBasically, a Session IPA keeps the aroma lively but the body lighter, so it drinks easily without losing that IPA character.
MugiOoh, light but aromatic sounds unfairly good. That feels like something you could crush and still keep sniffing between sips.
Hop BroExactly, and this one sounds built around citrus and a dry finish. Not just easygoing, but properly crisp with restrained bitterness.
MugiSo it’s in that PUNKY DUCK lane they mentioned? Cute reference, serious flavor energy. I respect that.
Hop BroYep, and it’s only a 10-liter keg, so it could move fast. That’s classic guest-beer behavior at a place like diagonal.
MugiNow I want a pour immediately. Check the socials, move fast, and let’s not miss the citrusy dry one!
