MIHAMA BASE in Makuhari taps WCB Firelight and Green Flash Hazy West Coast IPA
WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE in Makuhari added two new taps on August 9: West Coast Brewing's Firelight and Green Flash's Hazy West Coast IPA. The bar's eight-beer lineup ranges from classics to hop-forward IPAs.
Hop BroWORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE in Makuhari just put on two fresh taps today. West Coast Brewing's Firelight and Green Flash's Hazy West Coast IPA are both on, and that is a seriously strong lazy-Sunday lineup.
MugiWhat! Two new kegs at once? Mihama Base in Makuhari really knows how to attack my self-control, huh?
Hop BroFirst up, Firelight is a West Coast IPA, one of WCB's 7th anniversary beers. It's 6.0% ABV with citrus and tropical notes, plus grassy, piney, floral, and a little herbal character.
MugiHold on, grassy and piney are flavors now? Why do I suddenly feel like I'm being dragged into a forest?
Hop BroBasically that's fresh-cut grass and pine. You get a green aroma like cut grass, then that cool foresty pine note, with floral and damp-herbal layers adding depth.
MugiOhhh, so it's a light drinking body but still big on aroma? That sounds like the dangerous kind that disappears way too fast.
Hop BroThe other keg, Green Flash's Hazy West Coast IPA, is the hazy version of their popular IPA. It's 6.5% ABV, lower in bitterness, and softly throws off pineapple, pear, peach, and lime from Citra, Motueka, and El Dorado.
MugiWhat even is hazy but West Coast supposed to mean? Is it fluffy or sharp? My brain just hit traffic.
Hop BroThat's the fun part: it's juicy yet crisp. You get the soft hazy texture, but the finish stays clean, so it works nicely even as a hazy beginner beer.
MugiAnd there are eight taps total that day, right? From Heartland to Carina DDH Hazy DIPA? I need a second mouth just to choose.
Hop BroThey've also got takeout available, and there's a 4th anniversary event from August 21 to 23. Makes me want to watch the tap list and compare Firelight with the Hazy West Coast IPA.
MugiThat settles it, I want a Makuhari tasting run today. You start with Firelight, I'll start with Hazy West Coast IPA, and somehow we're both ordering refills.

WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE, a craft-beer specialist in Makuhari, added two new beers on August 9. On a relatively comfortable Sunday, the venue offered a lineup that suits a relaxed beer session. Takeout for craft beer is also available.
The first new tap is `Firelight` from West Coast Brewing. It is one of WCB's 7th-anniversary beers and is listed as a West Coast IPA at 6.0% ABV.

Notes of pineapple, pear, peach, and lime are highlighted, with Citra, Motueka, and El Dorado hops contributing to a juicy but crisp finish. It comes in at 6.5% ABV.
The full tap list for the day includes eight beers: `Heartland`, `London Pride`, `Level Line Pale Ale`, `Firelight`, `Hazy West Coast IPA`, `Summer Sunlight IPA`, `Cloud 7`, and `Carina DDH Hazy DIPA`.
