Hop BroAt Nomimono-ya in Busshozan, Takamatsu, four Brew Classic Beer selections have just arrived. That's a pretty great lineup for IPA fans.
MugiWait, four IPAs? With that many on the menu, a beginner like me wouldn't know where to start!
Hop BroStart with the aroma character. Eoraptor, which gives off tropical aromas, is a Hazy IPA at 6.5%, using Mosaic, Simcoe, and Strata, with Sabro bringing it toward passion fruit and grapefruit.
MugiWhat is Sabro anyway? That hop name suddenly sounds like a final boss!
Hop BroGood catch. Sabro is a hop that can bring out coconut-like notes, and here it adds roundness to the silky texture. The finish then tightens up with a citrus-peel bitterness.
MugiWow, even at the same 6.5% they can be totally different! What about the next one, Super Mandrill?
Hop BroSuper Mandrill, a Juicy IPA, uses Rakau, Nelson, Mosaic, Simcoe, and Sabro, and the soft mouthfeel from WLP008 comes to the front. It flows from pineapple, peach, and passion fruit into a sweet-bitter red grapefruit finish.
MugiWLP008, WLP067... just the yeast numbers make it sound like a science lab! But does it really make that much difference in the taste?
Hop BroIt does. Ura Tiger Viva Haze uses WLP067, and the combination of Mosaic Cryo and Citra creates tropical depth. The last one, Let's La Pause, is a West Coast IPA at 7%, and Mosaic Cryo, Citra, Rakau, and Columbus push a dank citrus aroma and bitterness to the forefront, making it a more old-school-style beer.
MugiSo the answer is to compare them side by side! If I try all four in order at Nomimono-ya, maybe I'll be able to talk about hops like you do!
Hop BroExactly. That's the kind of thing that pulls you into the IPA rabbit hole. Today we'll compare them one by one in Busshozan, and by the end everyone will be saying, 'Let's have one more.'
At the Takamatsu, Busshozan beer pub Nomimono-ya, new arrivals from Brew Classic Beer have been announced. The stars this time are four IPA-style beers from the brewery. The styles range from Hazy IPA to Juicy IPA to West Coast IPA, and even within the same 6.5% range, the differences in aroma and mouthfeel stand out clearly.
First up is "Eoraptor (Hazy IPA / 6.5%)". Built around Mosaic, Simcoe, and Strata, with Sabro added as an accent, it features tropical nuances reminiscent of passion fruit, grapefruit, and lychee. It has a solid haze and a silky texture, finishing with a bitterness like citrus peel.
"Super Mandrill (Juicy IPA / 6.5%)" uses Rakau, Nelson, Mosaic, Simcoe, and Sabro. The soft mouthfeel and fruitiness from WLP008 come forward, creating an impressive flow from pineapple, peach, and passion fruit into a sweet-bitter red grapefruit character.
"Ura Tiger Viva Haze (Hazy IPA / 6.5%)" pairs Mosaic, including Cryo, with Citra, and uses yeast WLP067. Its appeal lies in a design that gives tropical character more depth within a silky drinking experience.
And "Let's La Pause (West Coast IPA / 7%)" uses Mosaic Cryo, Citra, Rakau, and Columbus. Its dank citrus aroma and peel-like bitterness stand out, delivering a beer that keeps an old-school core while being finished with a modern touch.
Because Nomimono-ya offers a calm atmosphere where you can take your time, it's easy to focus on tasting the differences in hop composition and yeast. IPA fans will want to try these four beers from the same brewery side by side.
