Novoru Brewing introduces DDH Hazy IPA “Hiraku”
Novoru Brewing in Miyazaki has introduced a new beer called Hiraku. The DDH Hazy IPA combines New Zealand and U.S. hops, with the brewery describing layered citrus and tropical fruit aromas alongside a smooth finish.
Hop BroToday’s pick is Noboru Brewing’s new release, the Miyazaki brewery’s Instagram feature for a beer called “Hiraku.”
MugiWhat! The name Hiraku already sounds stylish! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt’s a DDH Hazy IPA, 6.5% ABV, built to push hop aroma up front while keeping the mouthfeel smooth.
MugiHold on, what does DDH mean!? That suddenly sounded like a magic spell!
Hop BroSimple version: it means loading in extra hops to crank the aroma way up. Basically, an “aroma max” strategy.
MugiOh wow, an aroma max strategy actually makes total sense! And if it’s a Hazy IPA, I’m expecting something super juicy.
Hop BroThey used four different hops: Southern Cross, El Dorado, Citra, and Motueka. The fun part is the split between New Zealand and U.S. hops, fifty-fifty.
MugiNo way, a fifty-fifty blend? That’s basically a hop all-star team! So what does it taste like?
Hop BroYou get bright lime and grapefruit, then a layer of tropical fruit like pineapple, melon, and pear. Southern Cross also adds herbal and spicy notes for more depth.
MugiWait, that deeper aroma means it’s not just sweet and juicy like fruit juice? That suddenly sounds kind of sophisticated!
Hop BroExactly. And Noboru Brewing started in 2022 with the goal of making people happy with great beer, so that balance really feels true to the brewery.
MugiI’m done for, I need this now! If I open their Instagram, my mouth is absolutely going to become Hiraku-shaped.
Hop BroThen let’s check the shop and the post, and head straight toward a pint in the glass as fast as possible.
MugiAgreed! Just imagining a toast with Hiraku tonight already has me hyped!
Novoru Brewing, based in Miyazaki City, has introduced its new beer, “Hiraku.” The beer is a Doubledryhopped Hazy India Pale Ale with 6.5% ABV, brewed with Southern Cross, El Dorado, Citra, and Motueka. According to the brewery’s description, the hop bill is split evenly between New Zealand and U.S. varieties.
The official shop notes bright citrus notes such as lime and grapefruit, followed by pineapple, melon, and pear-like fruit character. Southern Cross also adds subtle herbal and spicy nuances, giving the beer more depth than a simple fruit-forward hazy IPA.
Novoru Brewing was founded in 2022 in Miyazaki City and uses the mission “making you happy with amazing beers.” This release fits that identity well: hop aroma first, but with a smooth drinkability that keeps the beer balanced. You can check the details on the official shop and the Instagram post.
