Hop BroToday's topic is the DD4D x HONGAMA collab. DD4D BREWING from Matsuyama released two limited beers and original merch on August 21.
MugiWait, beer and illustration in one drop? I already want to display the cans before even drinking them!
Hop BroOAT de exercise is an Oat Cream IPA with Spices, 6.0% ABV and 35 IBU. It layers creamy oats with vanilla beans, cardamom, and tropical hop aromas.
MugiWhat is that! Oat Cream IPA sounds like breakfast, workout time, and beer all crashed into each other!
Hop BroPut simply, it's an oat-packed IPA. The oats make the texture smoother, and that rounds out the hoppy aroma in a really friendly way.
MugiOhhh, so like a drinkable smoothie vibe? And cardamom too? That got fancy really fast!
Hop BroLemon de dance is a Lemon Sour with Honey, 5.0% ABV and 30 IBU. You get Setouchi lemon, soft lactic tartness, a honey finish, and solid food-pairing potential.
MugiHold on, lactic fermentation tartness sounds like a science lab. Are we sure this is delicious and not homework?
Hop BroNo panic, it's more like a gentle sour profile. Instead of sharp acidity, it drinks smooth, and the citrus hops plus honey open up as you keep sipping.
MugiAnd HONGAMA's pop-surreal artwork is on the cans and merch too, right? My wallet is already breakdancing.
Hop BroThe 350ml cans are 820 yen each with tax, sold online, at the DD4D store, and through retailers nationwide. There are 15L kegs too, so it's worth watching for.
MugiThat settles it, this is tonight's beer plan. I'll grab Lemon de dance, you take OAT de exercise, and obviously we're tasting both!
