At SEKIYA TAP STAND in Tokyo's Kokubunji, GOOD HOPS' IPA "Season of Lupulin" has just been tapped. It is a beer made with freshly harvested lupulin from Tono-grown Cascade, Saaz, and the new variety No Wind, and a "Kuni-buru Spring Tasting Event" is also scheduled for April 11.
Hop BroAt SEKIYA TAP STAND in Kokubunji, Season of Lupulin has been tapped. It's GOOD HOPS' IPA, and what's exciting is that it uses freshly harvested lupulin.
MugiWait, freshly harvested lupulin really makes that much of a difference!? Just the name already feels like a spring beer!
Hop BroIt really does. Fresh hop aroma is on a different level. This one uses Tono-grown Cascade, Saaz, and the new variety No Wind, so the focus is on a vivid aroma.
MugiCascade and Saaz I can sort of understand, but No Wind? There isn't any wind!? Wait, that's like a weather forecast in beer form!
Hop BroThe name sounds a little sci-fi, but the contents are all about hop character. Cascade's citrus notes, Saaz's elegance, and the new variety's lightness come together into a pleasant bitterness.
MugiWhoa. When I hear IPA, I think it'll be bitter, but an aroma-forward IPA sounds easy to drink! Maybe even I could handle that!
Hop BroExactly, and with an ABV of 6.0%, it still has real drinking presence. A drink at the kaku-uchi inside Sekiya 1F, just one minute from the south exit of Kokubunji Station, is a pretty ideal setup.
MugiOne minute on foot is way too strong! That's not even a detour temptation anymore, it's basically fate!
Hop BroAnd on April 11, the Kuni-buru Spring Tasting Event is also planned at Sekiya 1F. The nice thing is you can drink it fresh off the tap and then check out the event too.
MugiIf I went there on a spring walk, it'd definitely be fun. I'm already in the mood to drink something fresh off the tap today!
Hop BroRight? On days like this, a fresh glass is the correct answer. So tonight, let's get an early taste of spring with Season of Lupulin.
MugiYeah! Let's make today a perfect spring IPA day!
