Hop BroThree IPAs from Teenage Brewing have all arrived at Beer shop Llama in Mitaka. Getting three releases at the same time is exactly the kind of lineup tasting fans love.
MugiWhoa, seriously? All three are IPAs? That sounds less like beer and more like a hop field test!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is great too. Sound Clash is a DDH West Coast IPA, and with Simcoe and Nelson Sauvin CGX, it has a sharp edge like grapefruit and pine resin.
MugiDDH again! Does that mean they’ve turned the hop volume way up or something?
Hop BroPretty much. It stands for double dry hopping, a method where hops are added after fermentation to push the aroma forward.
MugiOhh! Then what kind of beer is Mustang? The name makes it sound fast!
Hop BroMustang is a DDH IPA with Riwaka and Rakau taking the lead. It has bright citrus and stone fruit character, plus a crisp drinking impression, so it’s perfect as the first beer of the night.
MugiWow, that sounds easy to drink! But Fuzz Face sounds like it’s going to get wild and distorted for some reason!
Hop BroThat’s the fun of it. It’s an Imperial IPA at ABV 8.5%, with mango, berry, and even white grape-like nuances, making it the richest of the three.
MugiBeing able to compare beers in order of strength at Beer shop Llama in Mitaka is just too good... I want to start with Mustang tonight and finish with Fuzz Face!
Hop BroExactly. It’s perfect for the first stop of the weekend, and now I just want to go there and line up the cans.
At Beer shop Llama, a beer pub in the Minamiguchi area near Mitaka Station, a new arrival from the Swedish powerhouse brewery Teenage Brewing was announced. The post was tagged as “new arrival info,” and the three beers added all fall into the IPA category. All come in 500 ml cans, and each style clearly shows its own hop-driven character.
The latest arrival includes these three bottles:
- Sound Clash (DDH West Coast IPA / ABV 7.0%)
- Mustang (DDH IPA / ABV 6.0%)
- Fuzz Face (Imperial IPA / ABV 8.5%)
`Sound Clash` is built with Simcoe and Nelson Sauvin CGX, delivering a sharp West Coast IPA profile with notes reminiscent of grapefruit, pineapple, and pine resin. `Mustang` centers on Riwaka and Rakau, bringing bright citrus and stone fruit flavors with a crisp finish. `Fuzz Face` is a full-bodied Imperial IPA layered with mango, berry, and white grape nuances, making it the most densely flavored of the three.
Llama is a shop that carries a wide range of craft beers from Japan and abroad, and it is known for quickly updating its can and bottle arrivals as well as its draft lineup. A moment like this, with closely related styles from the same brewery lined up together, makes it easy to experience the differences in hop expression and body. It is a fresh arrival that makes for a great weekend first stop, starting with the lighter `Mustang` and moving on to `Sound Clash` and `Fuzz Face` in order of intensity.
