MugiWhoa, Fuyu no Niji already sounds beautiful! But DDH Hazy IPA sounds kind of intense just from the name!
Hop BroDDH means double dry hop, right? It is a method where you add a lot of hops late in the brewing process to bring the aroma up strongly.
MugiI see, so you add more hops! Then it is not just about bitterness, but about bringing the aroma forward?
Hop BroExactly. This "Fuyu no Niji" is appealing because it moves from the fresh brightness of grapefruit into aromas like passion fruit and guava.
MugiWow, a total fruit traffic jam! But hazy means cloudy, right? Why is the turbidity of Hazy IPA so popular?
Hop BroThat cloudy look often goes with a softer mouthfeel and juiciness. And this one is 6.0% ABV, with a style that has firm bitterness along with that fresh fruitiness.
MugiWait, 6.0% and it has that much aroma and bitterness!? Balancing aroma and definition sounds kind of advanced!
Hop BroTsumugi has eight draft beers on hand, and it also has a tasting menu, so it is easy to choose even if it is your first time. It specializes in domestic craft beer, and the owner carefully selects beers from breweries all over Japan, which is reassuring.
MugiI like that it is easy to drop in alone and choose while talking things through. If I can try things casually, I might even be able to take on a Hazy IPA!
Hop BroThen let’s meet in Minamikashiwa next. It is not a direct delivery from the Kiyosato Highlands, but when you come across a pint like this, it makes you want to go out and drink right away.
MugiYeah, I am totally in that mood too! I want to spend tonight with Fuyu no Niji, carefully tasting how the aroma changes!
