BEER OLYN Taps Kyoto Brewing's 'Orion'; West Coast DIPA Debuts
At the beer pub BEER OLYN in Kagurazaka, Kyoto Brewing's TDH West Coast DIPA 'Orion' has been newly tapped. The current tap lineup, which ranges from Belgian Blonde and Light Lager to Hazy IPA, Kölsch, and cider, is summarized here.
Hop BroAt BEER OLYN on the third floor in Yarai-cho, Kagurazaka, Kyoto Brewing's Orion has just been tapped. And it's a TDH West Coast DIPA, which is the kind of beer that really grabs IPA lovers by the heart.
MugiWhoa, TDH West Coast DIPA? That sounds like a spell, but it definitely gives off a super strong vibe!
Hop BroBasically, TDH is a recipe that uses a ton of hops, and West Coast is an IPA style that emphasizes bitterness and crispness. Orion is 8.0% ABV, so it has real heft.
MugiSo in other words, it's like 'grown-up flavor with lots of hops'? But those hop names sound cool too, like Centennial and Chinook - suddenly it feels artisan!
Hop BroExactly. It uses Centennial, Chinook, Motueka, Waimea, Strata, and Rakau, which bring out citrus and pine-resin notes. The layers of aroma stack up, making it a fun beer to smell first.
MugiPine resin? Wait, the smell of a forest!? Is that actually good to drink? It feels a little too wild to me!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. It has a clear finish, a body centered on Pilsner malt, and a touch of Munich malt for depth, so bitterness takes the lead without making it hard to keep drinking.
MugiOhhh, so it's not just bitter! Hearing that it's part of a series that follows Arioon makes it feel like an evolved version, which makes me curious!
Hop BroAnd the current BEER OLYN tap list is fun too. It has NOVORU's Belgian Blonde, VATTEN's Light Lager, Kanpai!'s Hazy IPA, Dieu Du Ciel!'s Kölsch, and even cider, so you can do a cross-style tasting.
MugiWow, having lager, Belgian, and Kölsch all on tap is amazing! Seeing that it's open Tuesdays from 5 to 10 p.m. made my urge to stop by after work explode!
Hop BroBeing able to drop in casually in Kagurazaka and enjoy both the keg turnover and the events is great. Today, I just want to cheers with Orion already.
MugiYeah, I really want to drink too! I want to take the plunge into the universe of hops and start with one glass!
