Hop BroSusukino Ale STAND is introducing Hop Kotan Brewing's new release, and just from the name, HOP IN MY HEAD really sticks in your ears, doesn't it.
MugiHuh, what is that? Just hearing American IPA sounds a little intimidating, but what does it taste like?
Hop BroIt's 6.0% ABV and 55 IBU, and what's interesting is that it isn't rough for the numbers.
MugiOhh! Bitter but easy to drink, so that's what moderate bitterness means?
Hop BroExactly. The aroma layers citrus and tropical notes, giving off a feel that reminds you of mango and grapefruit.
MugiWhat is that? It's basically a fruit stand already. And it even has gentle sweetness?
Hop BroIt does. A little dank character comes in there, so it doesn't end with just a flashy profile.
MugiDank character suddenly sounds kind of musty? Another mysterious beer-world term!
Hop BroTo put it simply, it's a nuance of hop-derived greenness and resin that adds depth to the aroma.
MugiI see! And Susukino Ale STAND makes both the store and online shop convenient to use, so it's great that it's easy to keep up with!
Hop BroYou can have a drink on the basement first floor of COCONO SUSUKINO and then follow it at home if you like it. This is definitely something I want to drink right now.
MugiYeah, going from a drink in Susukino to drinking at home too really puts our night in danger!
