VECTOR BREWING's 'Baka Umai Hazy IPA vol. 2' tapped at Craft Beer Market Whity Umeda
The Craft Beer Market Whity Umeda store inside NOMOKA at Whity Umeda in Osaka shared its beer lineup for the day on Instagram. The new tap is VECTOR BREWING's 'Baka Umai Hazy IPA vol. 2,' and the shop also introduced Swan Lake Beer's 'Strawberry Dark Saison' as a recommendation.
Hop BroThe day's new tap in Osaka's Whity Umeda is pretty hot. At Craft Beer Market Whity Umeda, VECTOR BREWING's 'Baka Umai Hazy IPA vol. 2' showed up.
MugiWhoa! The title already hits hard! 'Baka Umai Hazy IPA' sounds so good I can almost hear my throat groan!
Hop BroAnd the style is Hazy IPA. It's the kind with a hazy look, hop-driven aroma up front, and bitterness rounded off into something juicy.
MugiHuh? But why does that hazy feel make people so happy?
Hop BroBasically, it's designed to emphasize aroma. The post describes it as 'full power in alcohol, aroma, and aftertaste,' so it feels like it's aiming for maximum satisfaction from the first sip.
MugiThat sounds like it'll perk you up from the first sip! 'Full-power aftertaste' makes it sound like sports drink after practice!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, they also recommended Strawberry Dark Saison. It's from Swan Lake Beer, and it's a distinctive Saison w/ Strawberry.
MugiWhat is that! Saison w/ Strawberry makes my brain wonder whether it's sweet or sour!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. The tartness of the strawberry, the tartness from the saison yeast, and roasted-malt nuances layer together, so even though it feels like a dark beer, it's surprisingly refreshing.
MugiWait, a dark beer that tastes refreshing is amazing...! If it even gives a red-wine-like impression, that's a little too stylish.
Hop BroAnd the location is directly connected to East Umeda Station, and only a short walk from JR Osaka Station. With Italian-centered snacks and an all-you-can-drink option with 30 varieties, it's the kind of place where you'll end up lingering once you stop by.
MugiThat's basically a going-out-to-drink situation! A 30-beer tasting lineup is fun before you even choose, and now I want to go check whether it's really 'Baka Umai'!
VECTOR BREWING's Hazy IPA is the new tap
In the Instagram post published by Craft Beer Market Whity Umeda, the shop announced the day's rotating keg lineup with the line, "Today's beer lineup is pretty good too." The beer introduced as the new tap is VECTOR BREWING's 'Baka Umai Hazy IPA vol. 2'. Its style is Hazy IPA, and the post describes it as having "full power in alcohol, aroma, and aftertaste."
The shop listed only this one beer as "today's new tap," making it the kind of post that gives people a reason to stop by for this one glass alone.
Another recommendation is Swan Lake Beer
At the same time, the post also introduced Swan Lake Beer's 'Strawberry Dark Saison' as "not today's tap, but also recommended." This is a Saison w/ Strawberry, a beer where strawberry tartness, saison yeast tartness, and roasted-malt nuances come together. In addition to a refreshing quality that feels unlike a dark beer, the post also mentions fruity aromas and an impression reminiscent of red wine.
