A lager showcasing KRUSH’s layered character
Susukino Yell STAND, a craft beer pub on the basement level of COCONO SUSUKINO in Sapporo, is featuring “I’m only KRUSH” from Hoppu Kotan Brewing. The venue offers craft beers on tap and is a convenient stop for a drink while exploring the Susukino area or enjoying a meal nearby.
“I’m only KRUSH” is a Hoppy Lager with an ABV of 5.5% and an IBU of 30. The beer focuses on KRUSH, a hop variety known for its broad fruit-driven aroma, and presents it in a light, lager-forward format.
Peach leads the aroma, followed by impressions of orange and berries. As the beer develops, pine and woody notes emerge, shifting the profile from bright fruitiness toward a more resinous character. The layered aroma demonstrates how much complexity can come from a single hop variety.
The malt sweetness and body are restrained, giving the beer a clean, dry finish. Its refreshing lager character keeps it easy to drink, while the expressive hop aroma gives it enough depth for careful tasting. It should appeal to drinkers who enjoy aromatic hops but prefer a lighter alternative to a full-bodied IPA.
At Susukino Yell STAND, take a moment to smell the beer before drinking and follow its progression from peach, citrus, and berry to pine and wood. Availability may vary, so check with the venue.
