Hop BroAt Saiougauma in Sannomiya, HUMANSBEER's "ME, HUMAN BOY" has been tapped. Just the fact that it's a new Hazy IPA already raises my expectations for the aroma.
MugiWait, ME, HUMAN BOY? The name itself is intriguing! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's a beer brewed by HUMANSBEER in Kanagawa, and the key point is its Riwaka-centered design. Mandarina Bavaria and El Dorado are in there too, giving it a wave of flavors from citrus to tropical fruit.
MugiRiwaka? What is that, some kind of spell? Do hop names really make that much of a difference?
Hop BroThey really do. It has a high-end citrus character, and dry hopping makes the aroma bloom. It starts with a burst of citrus, then passion fruit and tropical notes follow after.
MugiWow, it's like a fruit assault! But 8.0% is pretty strong, isn't it?
Hop BroExactly. It's 8.0% ABV and 40 IBU. Even though it looks juicy, the drinking experience is dry and crisp, so it doesn't become too heavy.
MugiI thought Hazy beers were supposed to be sweet and silky, but this one is designed to be crisp!
Hop BroThat's where the oat malt comes in. It creates a full, rounded body while keeping the sweetness from taking over. So it's easy to enjoy with a meal too.
MugiI see, so it's great with food too. If I drank this at Saiougauma in Sannomiya, I might finish the whole glass just by following the aroma!
Hop BroExactly. As the temperature rises, its character changes too, so it's the kind of beer you want to drink while watching the aromas evolve.
MugiThen today, I want to chase everything from citrus to herbs! Just reading about it has already put my throat into beer mode!
