Hop BroA new beer has arrived at the beer pub Tamusan in Tomigaya, and BREW CLASSIC's "Wolf Chop Wheat IPA 6.5%" has been tapped.
MugiWhoa! The name Wolf Chop already sounds intense! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's a Wheat IPA 6.5%, and because it uses 50% wheat malt, it looks distinctly hazy and has a soft mouthfeel.
MugiReally? Hazy but soft sounds a little mysterious, doesn't it?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: the combination of the WLP008 yeast and wheat gives it a drinking experience that's smooth without being sharp, while still having a clear sense of shape.
MugiWow, WLP008 sounds like a spell or something!
Hop BroAnd the aroma is all about how it changes from lychee to citrus; as the temperature rises, notes like pink grapefruit and blood orange start to come through.
MugiWait, it changes with temperature? That makes drinking it more fun already!
Hop BroExactly. They use about the same amount of hops as in a Hazy IPA, so it has a rich aroma without feeling too heavy, which is a great balance.
MugiIf you could drink this in the calm atmosphere of Okushibu like Tamusan, wouldn't that be pretty amazing?
Hop BroExactly. It's the kind of guest beer that works as a first drink or with a meal. This is one you'll want to line up for right in front of the tap.
MugiYeah, I already want to drink it! Let's put it on the choices for tonight's drink!
