Hop BroMugi, today I want to talk about Milestene IPA from Milestone Brewing Higashi Kakogawa Brewery, featured as No.2 on their Instagram.
MugiWait, No.2 means it's part of a series? And that name already screams flagship IPA energy!
Hop BroExactly. It's their flagship American-style IPA at 7.0% ABV and 60 IBU, and those are seriously intentional numbers, not just macho stats.
MugiI kind of get that 60 IBU means bitter, but once ABV joins the party it feels like an exam. That wall of numbers is making me tipsy already!
Hop BroIBU is the bitterness scale, and ABV is the alcohol content. This one builds a solid malt backbone with UK barley malt, German malt, and crystal malt.
MugiBackbone? The beer has a spine now? And crystal malt sounds like jewel-grade grain!
Hop BroBy backbone I mean the core of the body. It's a brighter red color, medium-to-full-bodied, then Mosaic, Citra, Simcoe, and Motueka roll in as a citrus hop squad.
MugiWhat is this, an all-star roster? Citrus aromas, reddish color, real body... that's a high-information pint!
Hop BroAnd the aroma shifts as the beer warms up, so this isn't a chug-and-go IPA. It reads like a balance-first IPA, not bitterness for bitterness' sake.
MugiWow! If a brewpub in Higashi Kakogawa has that waiting on tap, then just reading about it makes me want a pint right now!
Hop BroThat's the appeal. It feels like a glass that shows Milestone Brewing Higashi Kakogawa's direction, so for IPA fans it's an easy first pick.
MugiDecision made! You handle the beer lecture, I'll handle the first sip, and tonight we're toasting with Milestene IPA!
