Hop BroAt WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE in Makuhari, today's headline is two fresh taps. Smog City next to West Coast Brewing is a seriously strong combo.
MugiWhat! Two new kegs at once? The names already sound intense. What kind of beers are they?
Hop BroFirst up is Smog City's Watt Strike Hazy IPA, and then there's West Coast Brewing's Wandering Boi. One is a Hazy IPA, the other is a West Coast Double IPA.
MugiHold on, Hazy IPA and West Coast Double IPA already sound like wizard classes. What's the difference?
Hop BroPut simply, hazy beers are juicy and soft, while West Coast styles come off sharper with more defined bitterness. Watt Strike is 6.3% ABV, and Wandering Boi jumps to 8.5%.
MugiOhh, and Watt Strike is the newest in the Smog Days series, right? What exactly are they exploring with that?
Hop BroThat's the fun part. They rotate the hop combinations every release to see how the character changes. This one brings grapefruit, mango, citrus, and a light pine note.
MugiWhat even is pine with tropical fruit? That's a total flavor traffic jam, and somehow it still sounds delicious.
Hop BroMeanwhile, Wandering Boi opens with a muscat-like aroma, then layers on melon, pine, woody notes, and even fresh-cut grass. The crisp bitterness and dry finish make its comeback easy to understand.
MugiPine, wood, and grass? That's basically a forest walking course in a glass! But if the finish is dry, I could totally handle that.
Hop BroAnd MIHAMA BASE also has an eight-tap lineup with HEARTLAND, London Pride, Instant Classic, and Supa Sue-Mo in the mix. You can drink in or take it to go, so yeah, now I want one.
MugiThat lineup is unfair! I want a side-by-side tasting right now, and starting with Watt Strike before finishing on Wandering Boi sounds like a winning Makuhari night.
