Minamiaizu Mountain Brewing Begins Serving New IPA "GREDHI" at Taproom BeerFridge
At Minamiaizu Mountain Brewing / Taproom BeerFridge, the new IPA "GREDHI / Greedy" has arrived. The 7.0% ABV beer is said to feature aromas reminiscent of citrus and tropical fruit, along with a clear, dry drinking profile.
Hop BroA new IPA, GREDHI, has dropped at Minamiaizu Mountain Brewing's Taproom BeerFridge. At 7.0% ABV, and as the beer that kicks off year three, it's seriously exciting.
MugiWhoa! Just the name GREDHI / Greedy already sounds intense! And 7% right out of the gate? They're coming in hot.
Hop BroThe thing is, this IPA was brewed to mark the second anniversary. And because they used Incognito and Cryo to really highlight the hops' character, the aroma ends up with a pretty sharp outline.
MugiIncognito? Cryo? Wait, those sound like secret organization names! Is that like some kind of special hop gear?
Hop BroExactly. In simple terms, it's a technique for making the aroma come through more intensely. Incognito helps emphasize hop aroma compounds, and Cryo lets the beer carry more aroma while reducing extra grassy notes. That's why you get impressions like pink grapefruit, pineapple, and passion fruit.
MugiOhhh! So it sounds sweet, but not cloying? Still, the article says clear and dry, which is kind of surprising.
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. Since they used lager yeast, the aroma stays vivid but the finish is clean. It's less likely to produce the quirks you get from ale yeast, so the hops' outline comes through really neatly.
MugiI see, so the bitterness is solid, but it doesn't feel heavy! And with the hop-derived astringency kept low, it sounds easy to drink even for beginners like me.
Hop BroAnd the fact that you can drink it at Taproom BeerFridge in Aizutajima is great. You get to enjoy Minamiaizu Mountain Brewing's own beer slowly at a brewpub with six taps, which makes it the kind of place you want to visit in person.
MugiAnd it follows the flow from last year's Wodhi, right? Hearing that makes me want to stand by with a glass in Aizutajima already!
Hop BroRight, it's the perfect beer for the first release of year three. If it bursts with citrus and tropical notes and finishes dry, that's ideal.
MugiYep, this is one I have to drink! I want to check that citrus x tropical aroma in a glass as soon as possible!
