ISEKADO Beer Unveils a New Batch of "Brain-Melting Ultra Heaven 3xIPA"
On March 18, Ise Kadoya Beer’s Jingu Factory in Mie announced the "Next Batch" of "Brain-Melting Ultra Heaven 3xIPA" on Instagram. This time, the hop bill has been significantly reworked, blending two different lots of Strata. It is being presented as a West Coast-style Triple IPA with 10.0% ABV and 88 IBU.
The official Instagram account of Ise Kadoya Beer has revealed the latest version of its popular beer, "Brain-Melting Ultra Heaven 3xIPA." In the post, it described the release as the long-awaited "Next Batch" and clearly outlined the recipe changes.
The main point this time is a redesign of the hop composition. The existing framework has been heavily revised and rebuilt in a simpler form. On top of that, the beer uses a blend of two Strata lots with different character, aiming to draw out the broad aromatic range this hop can offer.
The specifications are as follows.
- Style: West Coast-style Triple IPA
- ABV (ALC): 10.0%
- IBU: 88
Even with its high alcohol content and high IBU, the post also mentions a smooth drinking character, suggesting a beer designed to balance power and drinkability. For fans of hop-driven Triple IPAs, this looks like an update where the differences from the previous batch should be easy to notice.
Ise Kadoya Beer (ISEKADO) is a brewery based in Mie, and its official website consistently highlights its commitment to ongoing quality improvement. An approach that updates the design batch by batch, as seen here, reflects the brewery’s stance of not leaning on its core lineup, but instead pursuing the "best answer right now."
The post makes it clear that a new batch has arrived, but details such as sales channels, serving locations, and the timing of draft or can distribution remain limited. If you want to get your hands on it, it would be best to check the official Instagram account and website for follow-up announcements.
