Inkhorn Brewing Introduces Aracari, a Mango-like Hazy Double IPA
Inkhorn Brewing in Mejiro, Tokyo, has introduced Aracari, a Hazy Double IPA posted on Instagram. Brewed with Citra and Motueka, the beer is described as having a full body from double mashing and a flavor profile reminiscent of mango pudding.
Hop BroI want to talk about the new Aracari from Inkhorn Brewing in Mejiro. It’s a Hazy Double IPA, and the whole concept sounds seriously interesting.
MugiWhat! A new Inkhorn Brewing release? And it tastes like mango pudding? I can’t tell if we’re discussing beer or dessert anymore!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. Aracari is a Hazy Double IPA, but it pushes big fruit character with Citra and Motueka hops. It’s 7.5% ABV too, so it has some real weight.
Mugi7.5% sounds pretty strong! But wait, what does double mash character even mean? It sounds like a workout routine!
Hop BroFair reaction. Double mash basically means they tweak the wort-making process to build a fuller, thicker body than usual.
MugiOhhh, so it’s not just soft and hazy, it also has a rich body. That mango pudding idea is starting to sound very serious.
Hop BroExactly. And with oats and wheat in the grist, it’s easier to get that smooth Hazy texture and the slightly sticky, juicy feel they were aiming for.
MugiWhat even is that! So it kind of glides across your mouth? And then I saw Inkhorn House Yeast and suddenly it felt like a secret lab project.
Hop BroI’m not against that image. House yeast is basically their signature yeast choice, something that helps express the brewery’s own character and lift the fruit notes from the hops and malt.
MugiA beer like this coming out of Mejiro is so cool. My brain is already full of mango pudding vibes and I haven’t even tasted it yet!
Hop BroIf the aroma through the finish really carries that slightly sweet, thick Hazy profile, it should be incredibly satisfying. At that point, I need a glass immediately.
MugiSame here. A toast with Aracari in hand sounds like it could satisfy both my beer craving and my dessert craving at once. I really want to drink this now!
About Aracari
Inkhorn Brewing, based in Mejiro in Tokyo's Toshima Ward, shared its new beer "Aracari" on Instagram on August 19. The beer is a Hazy Double IPA with 7.5% ABV, brewed with Citra and Motueka hops.
According to the brewery, the beer combines a firm body from double mashing with hop-driven fruitiness, resulting in a flavor profile that evokes mango pudding. The post also positions it as a slightly sweeter Hazy, with plenty of texture and a fruity finish.
Flavor details
Inkhorn says the beer was inspired by an especially memorable mango, and the goal was to create a beer that could bring that fruit character to mind. The grist includes Extra Pils, Oats, Wheat, and Carapils, while the yeast is Inkhorn House Yeast. It is a simple recipe on paper, but one designed to express mango-like character through hops, malt, yeast, and water alone.
