Introducing "Noroshi IPA" at Noroshi Brewing: a classic IPA bridging classic and modern
At Noroshi Brewing in Nagareyama City, Chiba, the standard IPA "Noroshi IPA" was introduced. This 7.0% beer combines the bitterness of a classic IPA with the lively aroma of a New World IPA, and is characterized by a recipe built around Verdant Ale yeast.
Hop BroHere comes the standard IPA from Noroshi Brewing in Oguwa, Nagareyama City: this time it's "Noroshi IPA." I like how the design aims for the space between classic bitterness and modern aroma.
MugiWhat, it's the second core beer and already the third brew!? So it's basically "a popular beer wearing a core beer's face"!
Hop BroExactly. And since it's the third brew, the shape of the flavor has really started to come into focus. The hop expression is well handled, so even though it's a classic, it still has real personality.
MugiBut wait, what's a New World IPA!? Does it taste like the new world!?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's an IPA style that puts the lively aroma of American and Southern Hemisphere hops front and center. What this beer does is keep the firm bitterness of a classic IPA as well, and that's the key point.
MugiI see! So it's flashy on the nose, but still properly bitter. And the citrus and pine aroma sounds like drinking juice in the middle of a forest!
Hop BroThat works because it uses Verdant Ale yeast. It adds fruitiness while keeping fermentation clean, so even when the aroma is bold, the drinking experience doesn't get messy.
MugiSo by "clean," you mean it doesn't leave a weird heaviness afterward? Even though it's medium-bodied, it sounds refreshingly crisp!
Hop BroExactly. The specs are 7.0% alcohol and IBU 66, so it's firmly built, but the finish turns slightly dry, which makes it easy to keep drinking without getting tired of it.
MugiAn IPA like this from a place in Nagareyama where agriculture and brewing are close together is amazing. A brewery that makes use of an old shed even sounds delicious in terms of atmosphere!
Hop BroThat's why it feels like a beer that bridges classic and modern. This is definitely one to keep in mind as a label you want to drink first in Nagareyama, and it makes you want to grab a glass right away.
MugiYeah, just reading it made me thirsty! So this is what it means to be the first drink of the day? Let's go drink it already!
