Hop BroDerailleur Brew Works in Nishinari, Osaka has put out MIX JUICED IPA, and this one is basically an "adult IPA" inspired by mixed juice.
MugiWait, they turned mixed juice inspiration into beer!? Just that idea alone makes it sound sweet and fun!
Hop BroAnd the contents are solid too. It’s a Hazy design built on oats and wheat, with concentrated banana juice and concentrated yellow peach juice layered in to give it body.
MugiHey, what does that Hazy design even mean!? So it’s cloudy or something? It sounds like a stylish spell!
Hop BroBasically, it’s a style that’s cloudy in appearance and soft on the palate, so the fruit character comes through easily. On top of that, Citra, Mosaic, and Amarillo are stacked as three hop varieties, bringing a passion fruit-like aroma forward.
MugiWhoa, three hop varieties stacked together sounds intense! It feels like fruit juice is being joined by superheroes, so the flavor must really make a statement!
Hop BroThe specs are worth noting too: ABV 7%, IBU 18, and SRM 4, making it a well-balanced design. It doesn’t just lean on sweetness; the bitterness and aroma shape the profile nicely.
MugiABV 7%!? That’s pretty substantial! If it’s not just sweet, it sounds like the kind of beer that makes you go, "Whoa..." after the first sip!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it feel like Derailleur Brew Works: there’s a Nishinari character that turns the atmosphere and stories of the city into beer. Even the idea of a "town where you can enjoy alcohol from the morning" comes through clearly in this one.
MugiI know, right? It’s unfair that even the Nishinari character becomes part of the flavor! People who know mixed juice will feel nostalgic, IPA fans will be curious too, and now I want to drink it immediately!
Expressing Mixed Juice as an IPA
What Derailleur Brew Works introduced on Instagram was "MIX JUICED IPA." Created as a tribute to mixed juice, Osaka's soul drink, it is a new release positioned as an "adult mixed juice IPA."
The recipe is built on oats and wheat, with a Hazy, full-bodied design that combines concentrated banana juice and concentrated yellow peach juice. Citra, Mosaic, and Amarillo were selected for the aroma hops, bringing a passion fruit-like fragrance to the forefront. The specs are ABV 7%, IBU 18, and SRM 4. Rather than leaning only into sweetness, the beer is defined by how its bitterness and hop aroma sharpen the edges.
