Hop BroAt the beer pub in Chigasaki, HOP MAN has a new tap - this time it's Noboribetsu local beer Oni Densetsu's NEW Oni God IPA. What's interesting is that it keeps the punchy character typical of Oni Densetsu while finishing as an easy-drinking HAZY IPA.
MugiWhoa! Just the name Oni Densetsu already sounds fierce! And if you can drink it at HOP MAN, Chigasaki's night is about to get a little rowdy!
Hop BroExactly - the core is Mosaic and Strata. Layering Nectaron, Talus, and Citra on top gives it a really aromatic design with tropical citrus and even a peach-like note.
MugiWhat? Mosaic and Strata sound like names of candy or something! Do people really use that many hop varieties?
Hop BroThey do, and deliberately. Different hops handle aroma and bitterness, so when you build the aroma in layers, you can create tiers of citrus, tropical fruit, and peach.
MugiOhh! So it's not just bitter, it has layers of aroma. Even though it's beer, it feels kind of like a work of art!
Hop BroExactly. And with specs of ABV 7.5% and IBU 50, it's the kind of beer you enjoy slowly for its substance rather than one you just gulp down.
MugiIBU came up! That's the bitterness number, right? When I hear 50, my bitterness alarm is already going off a little!
Hop BroThat's the right instinct. But this NEW Oni God IPA is all about the balance of sweetness and bitterness, and it has the soft roundness you'd expect from a HAZY IPA, so it's not just rough and wild.
MugiI see, so the oni is gentle after all? It still has sweetness too. Kind of like a tsundere demon, and I might like that!
Hop BroAnd since HOP MAN is in Jukkenzaka, Chigasaki, it's also easy to drop in from the station. When you hit this one at a place with a rotating keg lineup, it feels like the day's a lucky one.
MugiGot it, I have to go! I want to check the aroma first, I'm curious about that peach note, and I want the bitterness to finish it cleanly!
Hop BroThen it's settled. When you find Oni Densetsu's new release at HOP MAN, let's verify it first with the aroma, then a sip, then another sip. Now I'm getting thirsty.
MugiYeah, I want it now too! I'm putting it on my tonight's drink list and want to go hunt for that Oni God IPA in Chigasaki!
