Hop BroFrom u.b.p_brewery taproom in Urawa Ward, Saitama City, a new collaboration brew, 'OWN GOAL IPA,' has arrived.
MugiHuh, with a name like OWN GOAL IPA, it sounds soccer-themed! But what’s a beer own goal supposed to mean!?
Hop BroThat’s the playful touch. Inside, it’s a solid hitter at 7.5% ABV and a hefty IBU 100 IPA.
MugiIBU 100 means it’s super bitter, right? That number is so intense it’s a little scary!
Hop BroExactly, it’s a measure of bitterness. But this IPA uses a multi-layered hop build, so it’s not just bitter—that’s the key.
MugiA multi-layered build? Like stacking hops one on top of another? That sounds stylish, like layered hop fashion!
Hop BroPretty much that image. It uses Columbus, Cascade, Centennial, and Sorachi Ace, plus Simcoe CRYO and even DynaBoost Simcoe.
MugiWhat is that! CRYO means frozen hops, right? This is basically a science experiment!
Hop BroBroadly, yes—it’s a hop material that lets you use aromatic compounds more intensely. On top of that, they’re bringing out citrusy aromas with dry hopping at a higher temperature.
MugiI see! That’s why the citrus aroma comes forward and the finish stays crisp. It’s bitter, but easy to drink—that’s almost unfair!
Hop BroAnd the reddish color is beautiful too, giving it a sense of Urawa, which is great.
MugiThis is definitely one to drink without backing down from IBU 100! If I had this at u.b.p_brewery taproom, I feel like I could pretend to be a connoisseur for just today!
