Hop BroShimokitazawa is getting dangerous again in the best way, because a fresh guest tap just landed at Ushitora Ichigo-ten. It’s Ushitora Brewery’s “Danda Double.”
MugiWait, Danda Double already sounds like it could punch through my tongue. Why does the name feel so strong?
Hop BroBecause it kind of is. It’s a West Coast Style Double IPA with a solid 8.5% ABV, so it really drinks with weight.
MugiHold on, Double IPA means what exactly? Did one IPA clone itself?
Hop BroNo cloning, but think more hops, more heft. Bigger aroma, firmer bitterness, and a stronger body than a regular IPA.
MugiOkay, then what exactly is this Elani hop doing in the article?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It builds orange peel and pine up front, then sneaks in a bright pineapple-like lift.
MugiWhat is that flavor combo, a tropical vacation crashing into a forest field trip? So basically citrus and pineapple aroma?
Hop BroExactly. And getting it at a laid-back beer pub in Shimokitazawa is part of the charm. Ushitora Ichigo-ten is the kind of place where watching the taps rotate is half the fun.
MugiSo even choosing at the counter sounds like a show. First glass starts here, right?
Hop BroThat’s the move. If you like IPA, you want the hop definition right away, and honestly now I want one too.
MugiYep, my throat is fully on standby now. Take me to Shimokitazawa and pour me a Danda Double.
