Noboribetsu Ji-Beer Oni Densetsu unveils new 'KONKI Pale Ale Super Delic Single Ver.'
Hokkaido-based brewery Noboribetsu Ji-Beer Oni Densetsu has introduced a new release, 'Konki Pale Ale: Super Delic Single Ver.' The beer is brewed with New Zealand hops, with ABV 5.5% and IBU 40, and is described as combining tropical, citrusy fruit notes with firm bitterness.
Hop BroSomething fun just came out of Hokkaido: Kinki Pale Ale Superdelic Single Ver. Noboribetsu Ji-Beer Oni Densetsu brewed it as a pale ale built around NZ hops.
MugiWait, that name sounds intense! A new Oni Densetsu beer? Am I supposed to grow horns after one sip?
Hop BroOnly if the pour is dramatic enough. It lands at ABV 5.5% and IBU 40, so it stays approachable but still brings real bitterness.
MugiHold on, what does IBU 40 mean? That sounds like beer wizard math.
Hop BroIBU is basically a bitterness scale. Around 40 means you'll feel the bite, but it will not bulldoze the rest of the flavor.
MugiOoh, got it! So if it also has tropical hop aroma, that is like a beach party hosted by an ogre.
Hop BroExactly. With NZ hops, you get candy-like aromatics plus citrusy fruit notes, and then the bitterness snaps everything into place.
MugiWhat is that combo? Sweet-smelling but bitter sounds like the kind of drama I would absolutely watch.
Hop BroThat is the Oni Densetsu move. They really dial in aroma-bitter balance, so it drinks like a clean pale ale without losing character.
MugiNow I am stuck on it. I want a glass now. If orders go through social posts, messages, and email, my thirst is already typing.
Hop BroFair enough. Just imagining a beer from Noboribetsu is enough to make me reach for a pint, and this feels like an instant order.
MugiThen it is settled. Bright and easy to drink with that hop punch? Even I want to dive in. Let us start planning that toast.
