Hop BroP-144 × Citra Bar near Ikebukuro East Exit has eight taps on offer, and the lineup sounds brilliant.
MugiWhat! It goes from a lemony lager to IPAs? That range is wild!
Hop BroThe centerpiece is Jack’s Abby’s “Citrus Wave.” It’s a 5% Wheat Lager brewed with wheat.
MugiWait, a wheat-based lager? Is it going to taste like biting into bread?
Hop BroNot quite bread! The wheat brings softness, while lemon-like aroma and a clean, crisp finish keep it easy to drink.
MugiOoh, that’s my first pour! But with eight beers, I might become a lost tasting traveler.
Hop BroFor a lighter route, try the NAMACHAん collaboration Fruit Ale “IKE IKE 1st Squad” or NOMCRAFT’s Session IPA “UP!UP‼︎.” Both are 4.5%.
MugiDoes Session IPA mean an IPA for drinking during meetings? That sounds like work!
Hop BroNo meetings required! A Session IPA is made to be aromatic but lower in strength, so it’s an easygoing IPA style for another round.
MugiThen I’m starting with the mango sour ale and working up to Ushitora’s “Hop Sniper” and Thornbridge’s “Rattle Snake”! Citra Bar chicken too—let’s go to Ikebukuro now!
