MugiWhoa, a name like Diffusiophilia already sounds intense! And it's a collaboration beer? Now I'm really curious!
Hop BroIt's a DDH Hazy Double IPA with 8.5% ABV. But like the post says, the mouthfeel is so smooth it barely feels like 8%.
MugiDDH, is that some kind of spell? Does that mean it's loaded with hops?
Hop BroBasically, it stands for double dry hopping, a brewing process that layers on aroma. It brings a soft citrus aroma with strawberry and orange notes.
MugiOhhh! It's like a treasure chest of fruit! But a finish that's dank and bitter? Aren't we suddenly being led into the deep woods?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. It's not just sweet fruitiness; there's a firm bitterness at the end, so it doesn't get too heavy and stays easy to keep drinking. They also recommend comparing it in cans, and the way it changes with temperature is not to be missed.
MugiChanging with temperature is like a moody idol! And today's tap list is basically all Totopia, like the whole place got hijacked!
Hop BroExactly. GO GO GO, Biasphobia, Cynicalphobia, and Diffusiophilia are all lined up, so you can take in Totopia's character all at once. And it's easy to pair with burgers and small plates, which is Fushimi's strong suit.
MugiWith the May BEER RUN and the ethnic-food project too, my entire schedule has been taken over by beer! I want to go right now and have a drink with a burger in hand!
Hop BroRight? Citrusy and strawberry notes with dank bitterness, plus food and events to enjoy too - there's basically no reason not to go drink.
