Hop BroNagoya just got a fun tap moment at KEG-NAGOYA: Suruga Bay Imperial IPA showed up as a guest beer.
MugiWait, Baird Brewing? That name already sounds like sea breeze and a punch to the taste buds!
Hop BroYep, and the style is Imperial IPA, with a solid 8.5% ABV.
MugiWhat is that even supposed to mean, what's 'Imperial'? Is this IPA wearing a crown?
Hop BroBasically, it's an IPA with more strength and more body. You usually get bigger hop aroma and a firmer bitterness.
MugiWhoa, and they used several American hops, right? My mouth is already expecting a full-on festival!
Hop BroExactly. It pours a hazy amber color, and the aroma comes off floral with hints of herbs and mint.
MugiMint too? So hops are total show-offs now? My nose is going to need a day planner!
Hop BroThe neat part is the sweet-to-bitter progression. It doesn't rely on aroma alone; you get sweetness first, then a long, trailing bitterness.
MugiAnd KEG-NAGOYA is known for house-made Chinese food and draft beer, right? Now I want dumplings with this immediately.
Hop BroExactly, and in Higashisakura that's a beer built for pairing. Fresh from the keg, it'd be great to take slowly.
MugiThen it's settled: smell first, cheers second. I want to chase that bitter finish all the way down!
