craft beer HOP CROWD taps Oni Densetsu ‘Kinki Pale Ale Comet ver.’ and NEKO BEER ‘Netrora-san’
The Yokkaichi beer pub craft beer HOP CROWD updated its tap list with two new kegs: a beer from Noboribetsu Ji-Biru Oni Densetsu and a release from NEKO BEER. The lineup also spans Italy, Japan, and the U.S., making it a strong stop for style-hopping beer fans.
Hop BroThis morning's update is dangerous in the best way: two fresh taps at HOP CROWD. At craft beer HOP CROWD in Yokkaichi, Onidensetsu's "Kinki Pale Ale Comet ver." and NEKO BEER's "Nerutora-san" just went on.
MugiWait, those names are intense. Kinki and Nerutora-san sound like they should come with boss music!
Hop BroFirst up, Comet-hop character. Kinki Pale Ale Comet ver. brings citrus and a light tropical note, but it stays nicely balanced instead of going over the top.
MugiHold on, does Comet mean space flavor? Am I supposed to taste a meteor shower or what?
Hop BroNot quite that cosmic, it's the hop variety name. Hops handle aroma, and Comet often gives off a bright grapefruit-like vibe.
MugiOkay, then NEKO BEER's Nerutora-san is a DDH West Coast IPA. Is that the extra shiny, extra aromatic one?
Hop BroExactly. DDH means double dry hopping. You add lots of hops after fermentation to push the aroma up, and with a West Coast IPA you get a crisp body, citrus aroma, and a clean, pleasant bitterness.
MugiWhat is that, extra DLC for hops? Huge aroma with a clean finish feels unfair in the best way.
Hop BroAnd HOP CROWD made it even harder to choose with a compare-everything lineup. Italy, Japan, and the U.S. are all on the list, from pilsner and IPA to cider and dessert stout, so I'm already craving my first glass.
MugiThat's basically a world tour in one stop. I want to start with Kinki, dive into Nerutora-san, and finish with a sweet stout... pour mine right now!
Morning tap update
The beer pub craft beer HOP CROWD in Suwasakae-cho, Yokkaichi, shared a morning post announcing a tap-list refresh. Two new kegs were added: Noboribetsu Ji-Biru Oni Densetsu’s Kinki Pale Ale Comet ver. and NEKO BEER’s Netrora-san. Both are hop-forward choices that should draw attention from drinkers looking for clear flavor differences.
Kinki Pale Ale Comet ver. is described as bringing citrus notes, a hint of tropical fruit, and a well-balanced finish that avoids being overly flashy. Netrora-san is a DDH West Coast IPA with a clean drinking profile, citrus aroma, and a pleasant bitterness. It is the kind of beer that makes hop character easy to follow from the first sip.
