Hop BroA new arrival from Yamanashi's Obina Brewing has landed at Bar So-ma in Tobu Nerima. This time it's the all-out, high-energy Binakuppa Double Dry Hopped Hazy IPA right from the name.
MugiWhoa, what a long name! Binakuppa sounds like a spell or something!
Hop BroBut the style is easy to understand: DDH Hazy IPA. Since it's double dry hopped, it's brewed to really push the hop aroma forward.
MugiDouble hops? Do they eat hops twice? What's dry hopping anyway!
Hop BroNot eating them, of course. It's a method of adding hops after fermentation to impart aroma, making it easier to bring out aroma rather than bitterness. That's why it can show more fruit-like character.
MugiI see! So that's why the post mentioned aromas like orange and mango. It already feels like juice!
Hop BroExactly. And it's not just the aroma, either: it has a juicy, smooth drinking feel. Like a hazy IPA should, it doesn't hit you with sharp bitterness; it flows in softly.
MugiOh, then even IPA beginners could handle it! With a lighter-bitterness approach, maybe I could drink this with a big smile too.
Hop BroThat's exactly the appeal. A shop like Bar So-ma, which keeps you posted on new arrivals, makes it nice that you can pick your target before you go.
MugiIf I can drink something like this in Tobu Nerima, that's amazing! Today, there's no choice but to head out in search of a fruit-forward IPA!
Hop BroThat's the plan. Take your time savoring a cup from Yamanashi's Obina Brewing at Bar So-ma, and by the end you'll be saying let's have another.
