OUR STORE in Hiroshima welcomes DD4D Brewing's Marmalade Man
OUR STORE -OUR STORE- in Noboricho, Hiroshima, highlighted a guest beer in an Instagram post on July 3. The featured beer is Marmalade Man from DD4D Brewing, a Citrus Hazy IPA brewed with citrus from Ehime.
Hop BroA guest beer at Awa Store in Noboricho just caught my eye: Marmalade Man arrives from DD4D Brewing. That is exactly the kind of tap takeover that makes you stop and look.
MugiWait, that name sounds delicious! Marmalade Man? Is this a beer or breakfast trying to flirt with me?
Hop BroThat is the fun part. It is Marmalade Man by DD4D Brewing, a Citrus Hazy IPA, and it is built with four kinds of citrus from Ehime.
MugiOoh, nice! But also, what does hazy mean? It sounds trendy, but my brain wants subtitles.
Hop BroHazy IPA basically means a cloudy-style IPA. It usually looks a little foggy, feels softer on the palate, and comes across as extra juicy.
MugiAnd they used amanatsu, tarocco, kawachi bankan, and setoka? That is basically the Ehime citrus all-stars lineup!
Hop BroExactly, and on top of the fruit, there is also citrus from the hops. That can layer in grapefruit and lime-like notes, which makes the whole thing more interesting.
MugiHold on, hops making citrus too? That sounds less like brewing and more like wizard homework!
Hop BroNot wizardry, just aroma design. Certain hop varieties naturally suggest citrus, and DD4D Brewing is great at that kind of expression. Plus Awa Store is a drink-it-and-buy-it spot, so the match makes sense.
MugiThat is ideal. A casual stop in central Hiroshima where you can try it first and then grab more sounds like a check-it-early situation to me.
Hop BroEspecially since the post warned it could sell out. At 6.5% ABV, this juicy, slightly sweet hazy feels like a get-it-before-it's-gone pint.
MugiYeah, I am done pretending to be patient. I am fully in need-a-glass-now mode. Marmalade Man sounds way too drinkable to ignore!
In Noboricho, Hiroshima, the beer pub OUR STORE -OUR STORE- introduced a guest beer in an Instagram post dated July 3. The featured pour is Marmalade Man / マーマレードマン from DD4D Brewing in Ehime. It is a Citrus Hazy IPA with an ABV of 6.5%.
According to the post, the beer uses four kinds of Ehime citrus: amanatsu, tarocco, kawachi bankan, and setoka. The beer is described as juicy and softly sweet, with bright citrus character layered over grapefruit- and lime-like hop notes. That profile suggests a hazy IPA built around fruit-driven freshness rather than heavy bitterness.
