At brewpub 3TREE BREWERY in Ibaraki, Osaka, IPA “SHY BOY” is on tap. It features aromas derived from three kinds of aroma hops and a sharp bitterness, and the sister beer “Patricia,” made with the same hops, yeast, and malt, is also being released in cans.
Hop BroAt 3TREE BREWERY in Osaka’s Ibaraki City, the IPA SHY BOY has been put on tap. And it’s ABV 7.0, with both aroma and bitterness making a real statement.
MugiWhat, SHY BOY is assertive!? It’s shy by name, but there’s nothing shy about what’s inside!
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part. It uses three kinds of aroma hops, and the design layers grape-like notes and bubble-gum character with a refreshing citrus touch.
MugiBubble-gum character? You mean the beer tastes like gum? Wait, that’s a little unsettling!
Hop BroIt doesn’t actually contain gum. It’s the impression created by the hops and yeast, bringing out sweet aromatic associations. When you drink it, the aroma is bright, but the finish is sharp and clean.
MugiI get it! That sharp bitterness keeps it from ending up just sweet. That’s the kind of IPA fans love!
Hop BroOn top of that, they’ve also reworked the yeast this time, so people who drink it every year should notice the difference easily. A yeast change like this can really shift how the aroma comes across and how the beer feels overall.
MugiWhoa, yeast alone can change it that much!? So the same beer can end up looking like a completely different person from last year!
Hop BroExactly. And they’ve also released the sister beer Patricia, made with the same hops, yeast, and malt, so comparing it with SHY BOY is part of the fun.
MugiThat’s the best! If it’s also sold in cans, you can compare them slowly at home, or even hold a “which side are you on?” showdown with friends!
Hop BroAnd 3TREE BREWERY is only a three-minute walk from Hankyu Ibaraki-shi Station, with brewing on the first floor and drinking on the second. What’s great is that you can enjoy the atmosphere of the brewery itself.
MugiWow, just imagining it makes my throat tighten! If you check the contrast between aroma and bitterness on site, you’ll definitely end up ordering another one!
At 3TREE BREWERY in Futaba-cho, Ibaraki City, Osaka, the house-brewed IPA “SHY BOY” is currently on tap.
According to the post, SHY BOY is an IPA with 7.0% ABV. It uses three types of aroma hops, creating a design in which sweet aromas reminiscent of grapes and bubble gum are layered with a crisp citrus freshness. While enjoying the distinct character of the aroma, the beer finishes with a sharp bitterness on the palate, resulting in a balanced overall profile. The yeast selection has also been revised this time, so people who have been drinking it every year are likely to notice the difference more clearly.
In addition, a sister beer described as “his girlfriend beer,” “Patricia,” has also been released using the same hops, yeast, and malt. The post says it is enjoyable to compare it with SHY BOY, and it is also available as canned beer in the shop. Taking home one of each and comparing the direction of the aroma and the impression of the bitterness would also be interesting.
