MugiWait, six beers? Today’s ON TAP is such a name that just looking at it makes you want to drink.
Hop BroThe highlights this time are Passific Brewing’s CHAKO and FETISH CLUB’s ESPER. Both are West Coast IPA-style beers, so you can really enjoy the bitterness and aroma of the hops.
MugiWest Coast IPA? That suddenly sounds like a story about the ocean. I keep hearing about hop bitterness, but is it really that different?
Hop BroNot the ocean, but a West Coast American flavor profile. It tends to have sharp bitterness and citrus-like aromas, giving the beer a very crisp outline when you drink it.
MugiI get it! Then beers like Totopia Brewery’s Duskphobia and open air’s Hop Viking, which are more aroma-forward, sound interesting too!
Hop BroExactly. Duskphobia is a DDH Hazy Pale Ale, and Hop Viking is a Hazy IPA, so their haze and juiciness are the appeal. DDH stands for double dry hop, a technique that layers on even more hop aroma.
MugiI love that wording, "layers on"! But double dry hop sounds like the hops are the star of the show, doesn’t it?
Hop BroThey are the star, but the supporting roles are strong too. Shiga Kogen Beer’s Swheat & IPA is a Wheat IPA made with apple, and NAMACHAんBrewing’s Namachan’s Lager is light and easy to keep drinking, so the overall balance is great.
MugiThat’s awesome! If I can do a three-beer comparison flight too, I’d love to drop in for a casual standing drink and go find a beer that matches my mood today!
