Two New TOTOPIA Releases Arrive at drifter's stand in Togoshi Ginza
Two of TOTOPIA BREWERY's latest releases have arrived at the beer pub drifter's stand in Tokyo's Togoshi Ginza. This time, the article introduces the clear IPA "Litphobia" and the tropical Sour IPA "Pinphobia."
Hop Brodrifter's stand in Togoshi Ginza has gotten two new TOTOPIA releases. This time it's a clear-style IPA and a tropical Sour IPA, so it sounds like a fun comparison.
MugiWhoa, two new arrivals at once? That's already a lot to keep up with! And an IPA plus a Sour IPA means the directions are totally different.
Hop BroExactly. The first one is Litphobia / DDH West Coast IPA. It uses the latest hops, but keeps a little of that old-school feel, so it's modern yet easy to drink.
MugiDDH and West Coast sound like magic spells! But what does clear IPA actually taste like?
Hop BroSimply put, it's the kind that wins with a clean outline rather than haze. Litphobia layers green freshness and juicy fruit character, with the hop aroma flowing out smoothly.
MugiOhhh! I'm curious about the hops too! Strata CGX and Nelson Sauvin already sound super strong!
Hop BroThe lineup is really good. It even includes Motueka Hop Kief, and the key point is how it adds juiciness and dimensional aroma to the clean body.
MugiWait, the next one is Pinphobia, right? For a Sour IPA, does it have sweetness too, not just sourness?
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. They use Pink Guava and Passion Fruit, plus Vanilla and Pandan, so it has a solid acidic core but also a rounded softness. The lingering spice note at the end is really stylish.
MugiWhat is that! A tropical Sour IPA sounds like you're traveling inside the glass. It's so unfair that you can drink that in Togoshi Ginza!
Hop BroThe drifter's stand atmosphere, where you can quietly focus with just a few people around, also pairs well with these two. Today, the best move is to start with Litphobia to take in the hop profile, then move on to Pinphobia and head off to the tropics.
MugiIt's decided then! These are two beers I definitely want to compare, and I want to head to Togoshi Ginza right now and hold a glass with you too, Hop-bro!
