Hop BroToday, let’s talk about the new Boxphobia release from Totopia Brewery in Nagakute City, Aichi.
MugiWhoa! The title already hits hard! Fear of boxes? What kind of mood do you drink that in!
Hop BroHeh, that’s what makes it feel so Totopia. It’s a West Coast DIPA, 8.0% ABV, and a beer that really puts the hop character front and center.
MugiWhat even is a DIPA! The alphabet pressure is intense!
Hop BroDIPA means Double IPA. In other words, it’s a more hop-forward IPA with strong aroma and bitterness.
MugiI get it! Then I really want to know the hop bill for this one too!
Hop BroIt uses Nectaron, NZ Cascade, Krush Cryo, and Simcoe Cryo. The design layers citrus and dank notes with fruity pine character and deep bitterness.
MugiDank? Wait, this isn't about pickles, right!? This specialized-term rabbit hole goes deep!
Hop BroHaha, don't worry. In beer, dank means a slightly heavy, moist-grass or resin-like aroma. So it’s a combination of crisp bitterness with bright citrus and pine-like notes.
MugiNice, just imagining it makes me want to drink it... I can see why it hits drinkers right where it counts.
Hop BroAnd sales are scheduled in stages: BtoB starts March 31 at 15:00, and BtoC starts April 3 at 19:00. With this staggered rollout, the earlier you move, the better.
MugiAll right, this is a must-check! A hop-lover's delight of a beer — now I want to go drink it right away!

According to the tasting notes shown in the post, the beer is built on a crisp, tight body layered with citrus aromas, along with dank flavors, a fruity pine character, and a deeper bitterness.
