MugiWhoa! Even though it has an idol-like name, it's beer! And you can drink it at a Shibuya beer bar too? That's a lot to take in~.
Hop BroWhat's more, it's a single-hop IPA, with Strata hops firmly taking center stage. It's a pretty stripped-down design that shows off the personality of the hop all on its own.
MugiSingle-hop? What's that? Does that mean a lonely hop? One-hop showdown sounds kind of like a tournament bracket!
Hop BroBasically, narrowing the hops makes the aroma character easier to notice. HOP IDOL Strata makes the tropical character from Strata hops and its gently floral notes really easy to pick up.

MugiWait, I thought IPAs were supposed to be more in-your-face! When you say creamy mouthfeel, it sounds gentle, which is kind of reassuring~.
Hop BroCyblume itself is interesting too. It's a standing beer bar that puts craft beer and idol music front and center. There's no cover charge, so you can just drop in, and it has an outdoor terrace too, so even one drink feels great.
