Hop BroAt the Kobe beer pub Ale You Ready!?, ISEKADO's 29th-anniversary brew, "Nikukyuu IPA," has been tapped. A West Coast IPA with that kind of aroma is already intriguing just from the name, right?
MugiWait, Nikukyuu IPA!? That's such a cute name, but it's a seriously legit beer!
Hop BroExactly. It's a West Coast IPA too, with 6.0% ABV and 50.0 IBU. It looks straw-colored with a slight haze, and the aroma leans into citrus and pine.
MugiWhat's IBU again? The bitterness number? Hearing 50 makes me a little cautious!
Hop BroPretty much. IBU is a measure of bitterness, kind of like a hop bitterness index. Even if the aroma is bold, this one is designed to go down surprisingly smoothly.
MugiWow, that sounds great! It's fun just from the aroma alone, but it even has that tropical feel like mango and passion fruit. That's almost unfair!
Hop BroAnd after the lively carbonation, the fruitiness opens up, then it finishes with a pleasant bitterness and a dry close. It makes you want another sip right away.
MugiWhat is that, dangerously easy to drink! And on top of being for the 29th anniversary, it's also a good match for meat? That's basically a perfect food companion!
Hop BroYeah, it's great because it doesn't push too hard or get too flashy, so it won't overpower meat dishes. That's the appeal of a meal-friendly IPA like this at a beer pub.
MugiIf I can enjoy the beer-and-food pairing too, then I have to go! I want to head to Ale You Ready!? for a drink and chase it with Nikukyuu IPA!
Hop BroThat's the plan. In Kobe, you can enjoy that limited draft-beer feel, start with a sniff of the aroma, and then raise a glass. This is definitely the kind of beer that makes you want to go out and drink tonight.
