HOP MAN taps Ise Kadoya Beer’s Electro Squash Sour IPA
HOP MAN, a beer pub in Chigasaki, has tapped Ise Kadoya Beer’s Electro Squash Sour IPA. The guest beer blends bright fruit-sour character with IPA-style hop aroma.
Hop BroSomething tasty just got tapped in Chigasaki. HOP MAN's new guest is Isekadoya Brewery's Electrosquash Sour IPA.
MugiWhat! That name sounds intense! Electrosquash Sour IPA ... is it sour, bitter, or both?
Hop BroThat's the fun part. It's a Sour IPA, so you get the breezy feel of a fruit sour layered with proper IPA hop aroma. It doesn't just stop at sweet-tart.
MugiWhoa! But when you say hop aroma, my brain goes straight to chemistry class. Aroma with structure means what actually happens in my mouth?
Hop BroIn simple terms, passion fruit and peach show up first, then mango, guava, and a light citrus note drift in after. The finish is where the IPA character really sticks.
MugiWhat is this, a tropical traffic jam? Guava joins too? That's so much information my mouth is basically hosting a festival!
Hop BroAnd the build is pretty geeky too. It uses Subzero Hop Kief with Freestyle Hops materials, combining Peacherine and Nelson Bliss.
MugiHold on, what is hop kief!? Why does that sound like a secret organization?
Hop BroFair question. It's basically concentrated hop aroma in a form that's easy to explain as the best-smelling parts of the hops. That's why at 6.5%, aroma shows up more than heaviness.
MugiOoh, and it pours a hazy pale yellow, right? I'd look at that glass and instantly know my day just improved.
Hop BroExactly. The sharp lactic acidity tightens everything up, so you get crisp sour snap and IPA definition at the same time. As a guest beer at HOP MAN, it's a strong one to watch.
MugiThat settles it. If I spot it in Chigasaki, I'm ordering a pint immediately, and you need to stop explaining long enough for us to actually cheers!
HOP MAN, a beer pub in Chigasaki, has tapped Ise Kadoya Beer’s Electro Squash Sour IPA. The venue sits on the second floor of Sunrize Shonan in Jukkenzaka, making it a notable stop for local beer fans watching guest taps in the area.
The beer uses Freestyle Hops’ Subzero Hop Kief, with Peacherine and Nelson Bliss driving the aroma. The brewery describes layers of passion fruit and peach sweetness, followed by mango, guava, and light citrus notes. Sharp lactic acidity keeps the beer focused, creating a profile that goes beyond simple sweet-and-sour refreshment.
In the glass, it appears as a hazy pale yellow. The flavor reportedly opens with orange and guava, while hop aroma lingers through the finish. At 6.5% ABV, it still drinks lighter than the number suggests, with balance taking priority over heft. For drinkers who want a sour beer with clear IPA structure, this guest tap at HOP MAN is worth a look.
