Hop BroAt the Chigasaki beer pub HOP MAN, Ise Kadoya Beer's Golden Dragon has been newly tapped! Just hearing that it's a revival version of a 2016 WBC bronze medal winner is enough to get the whole counter buzzing.
MugiWhoa, a revival version of a bronze medal beer? That sounds amazing! The name alone makes it feel like a dragon breathing fire, but I can't imagine what kind of beer it actually is!
Hop BroWhat's inside is a Session Pale Ale with an alcohol content of 4.0%. It's designed to be easy to drink, while still letting the hop aroma make a proper statement. Pretty sharp stuff.
MugiS-session pale ale? Huh, light but aromatic? What kind of magic is that!? There really are beers that can do that!
Hop BroAnd that's where the use of Dynaboost comes in, which makes it feel very modern. It pushes the aroma forward with hop oil while still keeping respect for the original concept, so it's a very carefully made revival.
MugiHop oil suddenly makes it sound like a lab experiment! But when you hear that it pushes the aroma forward, it makes you want to try it even more!
Hop BroThe taste is dry and crisp, with a clean profile that keeps sweetness down. At IBU 35, the bitterness isn't too light either, and the more you drink, the more the hop aroma's outline comes into focus.
MugiI see, so the bitterness is not too light. The kind that doesn't end with the first sip always makes me want another one.
Hop BroAnd since HOP MAN is a place that closely tracks every keg change, days like this, when the tap line is worth watching, aren't to be missed. When a regular and a revival beer are lined up together, the energy inside the shop goes up another level.
MugiJust hearing about it makes me want to drink one! Tonight, let's go for a hop-aromatic pint in Chigasaki!
The revived "Golden Dragon" in Chigasaki
At the beer pub "HOP MAN" in Jūmankasaka, Chigasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Ise Kadoya Beer's Golden Dragon has been newly tapped. In the post, it is introduced as a beer that has been reworked with modern brewing techniques from the original that won a bronze medal at the 2016 World Beer Cup.
This Golden Dragon is a revival version that keeps respect for the original concept and recipe while also using a hop oil called Dynaboost. The style is Session Pale Ale, with an alcohol content of 4.0% and an IBU of 35. It has a light body, but is built so that the hop aroma comes through clearly.
According to Ise Kadoya Beer's announcement, the flavor is dry and crisp, with a clean, easy-drinking profile that keeps sweetness in check. The bitterness is not too light, and the more you drink, the more the contours of the hop aroma emerge, making it a good first pint for a long drinking session.
HOP MAN is a beer pub in the north exit area of Chigasaki Station. Because the shop regularly shares detailed updates on what is on tap, days when a revival beer like this arrives naturally draw your eyes to the tap line inside. The enjoyment of following the regulars and of tasting a recipe that was praised a little while ago through today's interpretation coexist at the same counter, which feels very much like this place.
If you like checking in on every new tap, start with this Golden Dragon. For beer lovers looking for a light, sharply defined pint centered on hop aroma, this is an update worth noticing.
