Hop BroThere’s a fresh tap in Chigasaki worth talking about: a new pour at HOP MAN is Repubrew’s “WHOLE HOP CITRA ‘BLUES.’”
MugiWait, what! That name already sounds intense. WHOLE HOP CITRA “BLUES” what kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt’s a commemorative beer based on the winning REPUBREW'S CUP recipe from Repubrew’s 8th anniversary project.
MugiWhoa, nice! But the phrase whole-hop character suddenly makes this sound like a science class!
Hop BroIt sounds technical, but it just means the hops are used closer to their original form than pellets, so the aroma comes through clearly.
MugiOhhh, got it! So instead of huge citrus fireworks, the article says floral and herbal notes lead the way, right?
Hop BroExactly, with soft citrus in the back and a notably dry finish. The article doesn’t list a formal style, but it’s clearly built to be calm and aromatic rather than flashy.
MugiWhat is this, a low-key powerhouse? And it even leaves a tea-like finish at the end? That’s such a grown-up move!
Hop BroThat’s the appeal. The bitterness stays restrained, it works well with food, and the suggested pairing of pate de campagne sounds spot on.
MugiI’m done for. My stomach and my throat are both ready now. I totally want to sip this from the very first glass at HOP MAN!
At HOP MAN, a beer pub in Jukkenzaka, Chigasaki, a new guest beer has gone on tap: WHOLE HOP CITRA “BLUES” from Repubrew. The venue is the kind of place beer drinkers visit to keep up with rotating drafts and local tap changes.
The beer is based on a recipe that won last year’s REPUBREW'S CUP, part of the brewery’s 8th-anniversary program. Its whole-hop approach gives the aroma a clearer outline. In the glass, it pours pale gold, with floral and herbal notes up front and a lighter citrus layer underneath.
On the palate, the malt character comes through clearly, but the beer finishes very dry. Bitterness stays in check, and the aftertaste leans slightly tannic and tea-like. Rather than pushing a loud hop punch, it offers a calmer, more lingering profile that should work well as a food-friendly pint.
The suggested pairing is pâté de campagne, which makes sense given the beer’s dry finish and herbal lift. For drinkers looking for a guest tap in Chigasaki, this is a notable addition to the HOP MAN lineup.
