MugiWhoa, the name is cute, but the contents are serious! 8.5% high alcohol sounds like it would leave you gasping!
Hop BroExactly. It's an IPA with 57.0 IBU bitterness that really packs a punch.
MugiWhat's IBU? Sounds like a science experiment. But if it's bitter, does that mean lots of hops?
Hop BroBasically, yes. It layers five classic hop varieties: Centennial, Cascade, Citra, Simcoe, and Amarillo.
MugiWow, just the aroma names make me hungry! That dense aroma of grapefruit and passion fruit sounds amazing!
Hop BroOn top of that, there are pine- and herb-like notes, and while the palate has a subtle sweetness, it finishes crisp and dry.
MugiWait, sweet at first and then a clean snap at the end? That's the kind that doesn't tire you out!
Hop BroIt makes sense to call it an upgraded Osaru IPA; compared with the regular 6% version, it has more punch without getting too heavy.
MugiAnd it's at a craft-beer-focused shop in Ushinodori, Ichinomiya, Aichi Prefecture, so the mood is great! I want to raise a toast right now tonight!
