MAHOWBREW Releases DDH Oat Cream DIPA "Entry of the Wizards into Valhalla"
MAHOWBREW, based in Tsuboya, Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture, has unveiled a new beer, "Entry of the Wizards into Valhalla." It is Batch 0076, a DDH Oat Cream DIPA characterized by a dense mouthfeel made with oats and lactose, along with aromas reminiscent of peach and coconut.
Hop BroToday I want to introduce MAHOWBREW's new release from Tsuboya, Naha City, Okinawa. The title is "Entry of the Wizards into Valhalla," and it already sounds powerful just from the name, right?
MugiWait, what does "going to Valhalla" even mean!? A beer with the force of Norse mythology? Is it strong?
Hop BroThat's the good part. This one is a DDH Oat Cream DIPA, Batch Number 0076, a solidly rich beer at 8.0% ABV and 24 IBU.
MugiHold on, what's DDH!? More symbols are suddenly appearing, and my head is starting to foam!
Hop BroDDH means double dry hopping. In other words, it’s designed to add lots of hops late and bring aroma to the front rather than bitterness.
MugiI see! So aroma is the star. And peach and coconut? It already sounds like dessert, and makes me want to drink it before I even try it!
Hop BroExactly. The hops used are Centennial, Idaho7 Cryo, Sabro Cryo, DynaBoost Sabro, and DynaBoost Idaho7, and because the whirlpool and dry hop additions are layered on top, the layers of aroma are pretty substantial.
MugiLayers? You can use that word for beer too!? This is suddenly starting to sound like artisan clothing!
Hop BroThey're taking the design very seriously. With Malted Oats and Flaked Oats plus lactose, they're aiming for a dense mouthfeel and creaminess.
MugiI like that it's carrying the character of Okinawa and Tsuboya's craft culture too. This feels like a beer to savor slowly!
Hop BroRight? When you add thickness on top of hazy-style juiciness, it becomes the kind of beer that's almost dangerously easy to keep drinking. It definitely makes you want to choose it as your first pint.
MugiYeah, that's decided then! Just imagining the peach and coconut aroma makes my throat want beer on its own!
