MugiWait, what? Comparing the same beer? A limited mod version already sounds like someone upgraded a pint!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. Alongside the regular Uchoten Aliens, they also have Limited Modified Uchoten Aliens made with NZ hops.

MugiWhat is that, fruity but still beer? I'm still a Hazy IPA beginner, so I need the easy version!
Hop BroHazy IPA is that cloudy, aroma-forward style, and this special version has a slightly fuller body so it drinks with more weight.
MugiHang on, a fuller body makes it sound like this beer has been hitting the gym!
Hop BroNot muscles, just mouthfeel. As it warms up, the aroma opens up and the finish turns clean and dry, which is great for comparing both pours.
MugiOkay, that sounds amazing. I suddenly want that side-by-side at Onajiananomujina right now!
Hop BroStart with the standard one, then move to the NZ-hop version and the differences should really pop. That's basically a Kobe beer mission right there.
