MugiWhat! A watermelon monster already sounds intense! Like a summer festival snack turned into a final boss!
Hop BroAnd the style is Sour Double IPA with Watermelon, clocking in at 8% ABV. It is going after both tartness and serious body at the same time.
MugiWhat even is that! That is too much information at once! Is it sour? Is it IPA? And what is doubling exactly?
Hop BroThat part matters. Sour-style acidity gives it a bright tart edge, IPA brings the hop character, and “double” usually means fuller body and stronger alcohol. So it stays lively but still hits hard.
MugiWhoa, and the article says rhubarb and ginger plus guava too, right? That is not a recipe, that is a produce aisle traffic jam!
Hop BroThe base aroma is ripe watermelon, then you get plum and lemon-like tartness. After that comes tropical fruit, and a gentle ginger note tightens everything up so it does not end as simple sweetness.
MugiI like that it is not just sweet! I heard watermelon and expected juice vibes, but this actually sounds grown-up.
Hop BroAnd KEG-NAGOYA also has an updated beer list. There is AWA from Brasserie Knot, Shiga Kogen Indian Summer Saison, Brimmer Porter, and Oni Densetsu Kin Oni Pale Ale, so the lineup stays fun after the first pour.
MugiIf it is easy for day drinking or even a solo stop, then tonight's first pint is basically decided. I want to get to Nagoya and be deliciously defeated by that watermelon monster.
