VERTERE in Okutama to Release BarthHaas Collaboration Pack at Noon on April 3

Hop BroToday we're talking about VERTERE in Okutama releasing its BarthHaas collaboration. On April 3 at 12:00, a set any hop fan would love is dropping.
MugiWhoa! A April 3, 12:00 release? That's so specific that I'll have to keep an eye on the clock!
Hop BroThe set is a four-bottle tasting lineup: two Lupulus, one Spinosa, and one Eugenia. What's interesting is that it's not just a mixed pack; the way it showcases hops is different.
MugiWhat is that! Single Hop IPA and NZIPA, it all sounds like random symbols and my head is getting all floaty~!
Hop BroIt does look complicated, but Spinosa's Single Hop IPA is a beer to carefully examine the character of one hop variety, while Eugenia's NZIPA is an IPA that emphasizes the aroma of New Zealand-style hops.
MugiOhhh! Then what kind of beer is Lupulus? When I hear American Pale Ale, it feels like it should be easy to drink!
Hop BroLupulus is an American Pale Ale with ALC 5.5% and IBU 30, designed with citrus and passion fruit notes plus a woody depth. And the fact that it uses not only T90 pellets but also Prisma and Spectrum is what makes it feel like a true collaboration with a hop supplier.
MugiWait, are T90 and Spectrum some kind of special moves? Hearing that suddenly makes it sound like a laboratory!
Hop BroBasically, they're like aromas in weapon form that make hops easier to handle. From its Okutama base, VERTERE has consistently released beers that foreground this kind of hop usage, and this release also clearly follows that line.
MugiI get it, so it's hop pride from Okutama! This is the kind of thing that makes you want to check the online shop on release day and toast side by side together!

Lupulus Features
Lupulus is an American Pale Ale with ALC 5.5% and IBU 30. In collaboration with BarthHaas, a U.S. hop supplier, it uses hop products such as Prisma and Spectrum in addition to T90 pellets.

From its Okutama base, it has consistently released beers that highlight hop character and collaborations. This pack is another release that clearly reflects that approach. Rather than being a simple assortment, it is an interesting lineup that lets you compare different hop usages and flavor designs side by side.
