HUMANS BEER announces new release, "HUMANS to the sea," a Session Hazy IPA at ABV 5.0%
Kanagawa's HUMANS BEER brewery announced the release of its new beer, "HUMANS to the sea," on Instagram. The post says it will be "released this week" and introduces a design that balances dank hop character with drinkability, at ABV 5.0% as a Session Hazy IPA.
Hop BroNew release news is here: HUMANS BEER from Yugawara, Kanagawa is set to release HUMANS to the sea this week.
MugiWhoa! Just the name sounds summery! That's a Session Hazy IPA, right?
Hop BroExactly. It's designed at 5.0% ABV, so it still has that hazy richness but goes down really smoothly.
MugiWait, what! The dank hop character they mentioned sounds like diving into a field of weeds?
Hop BroClose, but not quite. "Dank" here means a deep, resinous hop aroma, and the finish is surprisingly clean.
MugiOhhh! Then how bitter is that IBU 40 number they mentioned officially?
Hop BroIt's a rough guide to bitterness. Forty is around the middle, not too strong, and the aromas of Citra, Riwaka, and Rakau make it well balanced.
MugiThose hop names sound like special moves! The product name also clearly says it's a 330 ml bottle version, so it's easy to buy.
Hop BroHUMANS BEER started in 2021, and true to its "make everyone smile" philosophy, this one also really balances richness and drinkability.
Hop BroSince the March 17 announcement doesn't give a fixed date and just says it'll be released this week, I want to watch the Instagram post and stock status for a chance to open one.
MugiIt's decided then. Hearing that makes me want to drink it tonight! If we find it, let's toast right away!

The brewery itself is a craft beer brewery based in Yugawara, Kanagawa, founded in 2021. On its official website, it promotes beer that "makes anyone smile when they drink it," and this new release also appears to follow that approach, aiming for a balance of richness and drinkability.
