MugiWait, there are two hazies, but they have totally different personalities!? I'm so excited for the tasting comparison. Do they really differ that much?
Hop BroThey really do. 'Mad Eye' is a Hazy Triple IPA, and it's a pretty substantial beer, with tropical fruit notes like mango and pineapple layered with stone fruit, pine, and even milky nuances.
MugiTriple IPA already sounds strong...! What do you mean by a layer of hops? Are they stacking them like a cake or something?
Hop BroThat's actually not too far off. It means the hop aroma and bitterness come through in multiple layers. And since P2B Haus is tapping it for the first time, a lot of people will be encountering it for the first time, so hop fans should definitely pay attention.
MugiOhhh! So is 'Yureizaka Hazy IPA' the opposite? It says light and crisp drinking, so this one sounds like it goes down easy!
Hop BroExactly. Even though it's also a hazy, this one leans cleaner. It has tropical notes like passion fruit and pineapple, with a grassy edge reminiscent of citrus and fresh greens, and a finish that leaves a gentle citrus peel bitterness behind.
MugiFresh greens and citrus peel? Beer has so many ways to describe itself! There are too many layers of aroma for my vocabulary to keep up!
Hop BroBut that's what makes it fun. With Double Vision Brewing's rich 'Mad Eye' and Kanpai! Brewing's crisp 'Yureizaka Hazy IPA,' you can really see the range of hazies.
MugiSo today it's basically a showdown between the rich-and-heavy camp and the light-and-lively camp!? These two contrasting kegs are making me want to drink them so badly!
Hop BroExactly. At P2B Haus behind Tokyu in Kichijoji, while enjoying the fun of 12 taps, I'd start with Mad Eye and then compare it with Yureizaka.
MugiIt's settled then! Today we'll raise a glass in Kichijoji and just sink straight into the hazy rabbit hole!
New Taps on April 23
At the craft beer pub P2B Haus in Kichijoji, two new kegs were tapped to coincide with opening time at 4:00 p.m. on April 23.
The highlight this time is Mad Eye from Double Vision Brewing in Wellington, New Zealand. The style is Hazy Triple IPA, and it is described as a full-bodied beer with tropical fruit notes reminiscent of mango and pineapple, layered with stone fruit, pine, and milky nuances. This is the first time it has been tapped at P2B Haus, making it a release not to miss for anyone who wants to take their time and follow the layers of hops.
The other keg is Yureizaka Hazy IPA from Kanpai! Brewing, which also makes P2B Haus's house ale. Even though it is also a hazy, this one is characterized by a lighter, cleaner drinkability, with tropical notes like passion fruit and pineapple, plus a grassy expression reminiscent of citrus and fresh herbs. A gentle bitterness like citrus peel lingers in the finish.
