Cyblume is a standing bar that combines craft beer and idol music, and it is also easy to use thanks to no cover charge, a terrace, and an attached bottle shop.

This guest beer is a classic West Coast IPA for beer fans. With ABV 7.0% and IBU 70, it has solid specs, and citrus aromas from Citra, Azacca, and Mosaic(Cryo) are layered with dank, resinous notes. The malt sweetness is restrained, and the carbonation is somewhat strong. The mouthfeel is light and brisk, while the bitterness has a clear edge.

Cyblume's style makes it suitable both for stopping in for a casual drink and for comparing several beers. For anyone looking for craft beer around Shibuya Station, the addition of guest beers like this is hard to miss. Even though it sits in a busy area near the station, the atmosphere of being able to drop in and drink quickly while standing seems well matched to trying a hop-forward IPA.
