Introducing DD4D's citrus hazy ipa at TAP&GROWLER Shimokitazawa
In a March 30, 2026 post by TAP&GROWLER Shimokitazawa, staff member MAIKO recommends DD4D BREWING's `citrus hazy ipa`. It is a hazy IPA with aromas reminiscent of citrus peel, introduced as a springtime beer.
Hop BroToday's recommendation from TAP&GROWLER Shimokitazawa is hot. MAIKO, who's in charge on Mondays, is introducing DD4D BREWING's `citrus hazy ipa` as a spring pick, and this one really has my attention.
MugiWhoa, a springtime hazy IPA is that easy to understand? It sounds like such a tricky name, but it even has seasonal vibes!
Hop BroExactly. As the name suggests, it's a style with a strong citrus character up front. The post also says it contains citrus peel, so it's easy to imagine how the aroma comes through.
MugiCitrus peel? You put peel in beer!? I mean, it's not salad or anything!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. When peel-derived elements are used, the aroma becomes much brighter. Combined with the juiciness of a hazy IPA, it picks up orange- and lemon-like nuances, so it works really well as a spring beer.
MugiI see, so because it has that soft hazy character, it's probably not too bitter? If that's the case, even a beginner like me could handle it!
Hop BroThat's exactly it. DD4D BREWING is a brewery in Matsuyama, Ehime, and its distinctive approach is one of its signatures, so this citrus hazy ipa isn't just another citrus beer.
MugiOhh! It's cool that you can run into a brewery from Ehime at Shimokitazawa. Being able to have a drink near the station sounds pretty great!
Hop BroRight. TAP&GROWLER Shimokitazawa is easy to drop by during a walk around the neighborhood, and being able to choose from the day's recommendations is a big plus. In the spring air, just having a glass that lets you feel the citrus aroma first really lifts your mood.
MugiWow, now I really want to drink it! I feel like wandering around Shimokitazawa with a spring citrus IPA in hand!
Hop BroThen it's settled: today's spring kickoff is with citrus hazy ipa. Both I and Mugi-chan definitely feel like having a glass of this.
