Paint Palette Brewing Releases Rye Hazy IPA "MIXED MEDIA"
Paint Palette Brewing, based in Chuo Ward, Kobe, introduced its rye hazy IPA "MIXED MEDIA" on Instagram. It is the third beer in the series to use rye malt, and the new release layers aromas reminiscent of white peach, tropical fruit, and citrus. It will be available in both cans and kegs.
Hop BroA new beer called MIXED MEDIA has come out from Paint Palette Brewing in Kobe. It's the third release in their rye hazy IPA series, and even the name already gives off a sense of the ingredients and character.
MugiWait, what's a rye hazy IPA? And MIXED MEDIA sounds so stylish, like an art project instead of a beer!
Hop BroExactly. The base is built with pilsner malt, flaked wheat, rye malt, and wheat malt, giving it a soft mouthfeel. Then the light spiciness from the rye comes through, so it doesn't end as just another fluffy beer.
MugiFlaked wheat? What language is that all of a sudden!? I get that there's a lot of malt, but now I'm picturing a bakery in my head!
Hop BroSimply put, it means layering different grains to shape the texture and mouthfeel. On top of that, the hops are centered on Elani, which really brings out aromas like white peach and pineapple.
MugiOhh! So it's the kind that hits you with fruit right away! But pear and white grape too? That's way too many members in the aroma lineup, isn't it?
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. The citrus notes layer in too, so the aroma has a clean sense of depth. And because it uses rye malt instead of oats, it becomes a hazy beer with more than just haze - it has real definition.
MugiI see, so hazy doesn't just mean soft and sweet! Having definition somehow sounds cooler all of a sudden - that's unfair!
Hop BroAnd since it's available in both 350 ml cans and kegs, you can enjoy it at home or at a bar. It really shows how a small Kobe brewery can build its own identity through ingredient design.
MugiNow I really want to drink it! I'm in the mood to toast with this new Kobe release today, and I'd love to sip it slowly while looking for those white peach and citrus aromas!
The Third Rye Hazy IPA in the Series
Paint Palette Brewing is a craft beer brewery based in Chuo Ward, Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture. "MIXED MEDIA" has arrived as the third release in the brewery's rye hazy IPA series. The base uses pilsner malt, flaked wheat, rye malt, and wheat malt, creating the soft mouthfeel typical of a hazy IPA while layering in the light spice character that comes from rye.
Aroma Design
The hop bill is built around Elani, combined with several other hops. The brewery describes the beer as bringing forward aromas of white peach and pineapple, while also offering notes of pear, white grape, and citrus. By choosing rye malt instead of oats, the beer is designed not to lean only into the "haze" and "softness" of a hazy IPA, but to deliver a more defined drinking experience. That is one of the highlights of this beer.
Available in Cans and Kegs
The product is offered in 350 ml cans as well as kegs for commercial use. It is structured to reach both people enjoying beer at home and restaurants serving it on tap, and the brewery's latest release also broadens its distribution. As the name suggests, it is a beer that builds its character by layering ingredients and aromas, and it reflects the recipe-building style of a small Kobe brewery.
