Hop BroNara Brewing's new American IPA, LOCOMOTION, is here. It is built on a West Coast IPA base, but layered with citrus and tropical notes, making it a beer that aroma lovers will really appreciate.
MugiWhoa! West Coast IPA makes it sound like a sea breeze suddenly blew in! So basically, it's the crisp kind?
Hop BroExactly. It's the kind of style where bitterness and shape come through clearly. The key point is that Mosaic, Simcoe, and Citra are used to add extra citrus and tropical aroma on top.
MugiWhat is that! It sounds delicious just from the name! The moment I heard pineapple as the main note, I was already in a tropical mood!
Hop BroWhat's more, the specs are ABV 6.5% and IBU 25, so the balance is drinkable without hitting too hard. The color is also Pale Gold, so the pale golden appearance is beautiful too.
MugiIBU 25 sounds like another spell! So the bitterness is restrained means even beer beginners could handle it?
Hop BroYes. IBU is a measure of bitterness, and 25 is a level that isn't overly sharp. So it is aimed at being an easy-to-drink IPA with a soft mouthfeel and a finish that fades cleanly.
MugiOhhh! Then I can enjoy it while focusing on the aroma! Grapefruit aroma and pineapple together sounds so exciting just to imagine!
Hop BroThe initial shipment stores have also been announced, and it will be available at retailers in 11 prefectures, including Caliquors Tokyo and Kitasawa Konishi in Tokyo, DIG THE LINE in Kyoto, TAKAMURA Wine & Coffee Roasters in Osaka, and Noto to Hakkou Zen and Sake Merchant Yori in Nara. It is reassuring that it is spreading across liquor retailers in 11 prefectures.
MugiWait, it's going out that widely!? But if I can also buy it online, that's a relief! I've put a red circle on May 8 at noon!
Hop BroTrue to Nara Brewing's style, it's crafted so you can slowly enjoy layers of aroma, so it should work both with a meal and as your first drink. This really makes me feel like tonight is IPA night.
MugiYeah, I really want to drink it now! I can't stop feeling like I should go find LOCOMOTION, and I want to toast while checking out the aroma!
