Hop BroY.Y.G. FACTORY’s new release on Instagram, WheaTrop (Y2604), is pretty intriguing.
MugiWhoa, even the name sounds delicious! But what does a Belgian beer based on wheat taste like?
Hop BroIt starts with a Belgian ale base, but because it uses a lot of wheat, the mouthfeel is soft. Then they generously use American hops to really push the aroma forward.
MugiWhen you say push the hops forward, do you mean they take the lead? Does the beer world get noisy when the hops make their presence known?
Hop BroMore than noisy, it becomes vibrant. This beer especially highlights citrus and tropical aromas, so it’s the kind that lifts your mood before you even drink it.
MugiOhhh, so it’s one of those where you get a tropical fruit vibe the moment you bring the glass to your nose?
Hop BroExactly. And the body is light, so it’s not tiring to drink. The post called it a perfect beer for summer, and it really does feel designed for right now.
MugiWow, that’s dangerous! If it’s light but has a flashy aroma, it sounds like it could easily turn into a one-more-round situation!
Hop BroThe English description even said it’s recommended for people who like Hazy IPA, so it should hit home for fans of hazy beers too. But because it has a wheat-heavy design, it’s interesting in that it’s not just another IPA variant.
MugiI see, if something like this comes out of Chiba’s fun beer factory, then that’s reason enough to go drink there!
Hop BroExactly. I’m already in the mood to open a WheaTrop from Y.Y.G. FACTORY today.
MugiMe too! I’d want to smell it first and then take a sip, and I’d probably end up saying, one more please!
