Hop BroHOP MAN in Chigasaki has tapped Ise Kadoya Brewery's Sour IPA. With Strawberry & Raspberry as the stars, it feels like the aroma alone is calling you to the glass.
MugiWhoa! So it's a berry IPA? Sour, but with hops too? That's kind of scrambling my brain!
Hop BroExactly, and it's easy to drink at 4.5% ABV. It starts with a bright acidic snap, then the fruitiness opens up softly.
MugiHuh! So it's kind of dessert-like, but still beer. Wait, but what is IBU 35? That number suddenly got very scientific!
Hop BroIBU is a measure of bitterness, basically an indicator of bitterness. At 35, it's not too strong, but it still keeps the distinct IPA edge.
MugiI see! So it looks sweet with the berries, then finishes with a crisp bitterness. That's a sneaky two-stage move.
Hop BroAnd the aroma has notes of citrus and passion fruit too, so it doesn't end with just ripe berries. The hops really make themselves known.
MugiWhat is that! Like a tropical invasion suddenly crashing into a berry forest? The aromas are total gridlock!
Hop BroNice way to put it. The sharp tartness of raspberry, the roundness of strawberry, and a glass enjoyed at HOP MAN in Chigasaki - it really suits the setting.
MugiJust imagining it makes me want to drink it! This is my drink-of-the-night pick for sure - I want to gulp it down on a hot day!

In the finish, a clean IPA-like bitterness tightens the overall impression, leaving sweetness and a fruity aftertaste behind. The specs are 4.5% ABV, 35 IBU, and Sour IPA.
