MugiWhoa, what is that? Just the name Mr.DANK sounds intense. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroThis one is a DDH West Coast IPA. It uses lots of Mosaic and Strata, pushing the hop aroma and bitterness to the front.
MugiDDH suddenly sounds like a code! What is DDH? A spell?
Hop BroIt stands for double dry hopping, a method where hops are added again after fermentation. That makes the aroma come through more strongly.
MugiI see! But I might brace myself because it sounds bitter. IBU 60 is pretty bold, right?
Hop BroYeah, it has a solid bitterness, but the point is that it doesn't just make things sharp. What stands out is that they aimed for a DANK that you can keep drinking.
MugiSo it's not just strong! By the way, how much is it? 704 yen including tax sounds pretty affordable.
Hop BroExactly, and since you can buy it from the official online store and the Rakuten market store, it's easy to get. The specs are 7.0% alcohol, so it still has real presence.
MugiIse Kadoya Brewery is based in Ise City, Mie Prefecture, right? The whole "from Ise to the world" thing is really cool!
Hop BroAnd the fact that its parent company has been around for 440 years is amazing too. It has tradition, but it still puts out these modern limited brews. That's so Ise Kadoya Brewery.
MugiNow I'm really interested! If I can enjoy the outline of the hops along with bitterness and aroma, this might be the perfect drink for tonight!
Ise Kadoya Brewery has started online sales of its limited beer "Mr.DANK." On Instagram, the brewery announced that the beer can be purchased online "from today."
Limited IPA that puts hop character front and center
"Mr.DANK" is a DDH West Coast IPA centered on DANK hops. On the official product page, the ingredients are listed as barley malt and hops, with 7.0% ABV and IBU 60. The price is 704 yen (tax included). It will be sold through the official online store as well as the Rakuten market store.
In terms of flavor, it is designed to deliver a strong sense of hop aroma and bitterness while maintaining an easy-drinking balance. The Instagram post also explains that rather than simply overwhelming with hop quantity, the goal was to create a "DANK" beer that you can keep drinking within that balance.
