New IPA "Aromatic Four" Served at Mountain River Brewery in Kugayama
Mountain River Brewery in Kugayama, Tokyo, has released a new version of its IPA series "Aromatic four," which aims to layer aromas using four kinds of hops. It is being introduced as a beer that balances complex aromas reminiscent of pineapple, lime, and berries with easy drinkability.
Hop BroA brand-new IPA has arrived at Mountain River Brewery in Kugayama. The series is called "Aromatic four," and it is one that carefully builds layer upon layer of aroma.
MugiWhoa! Just the name "Aromatic four" already sounds so stylish! And four kinds of hops sounds like a science experiment, which is kind of exciting.
Hop BroThis one is a West Coast IPA with an alcohol content of 6.0%. The key point is that it keeps the bitterness firmly in place while making sure the drinkability is not too heavy.
MugiI hear about West Coast IPA a lot, but what does "bitter yet easy to drink" even mean? Does that kind of luxurious combo really exist?
Hop BroIt does. And the aroma has notes of pineapple and lime, plus lemon, berries, and even a candy-like sweetness. The interesting part is how the choice of hops creates multiple layers of impression.
MugiWhat is that! It's like a fruit feast! But candy? Does beer really have a sweet smell like candy too?
Hop BroExactly. The hops used are Mosaic, Meridian, and also Anchovy and Zumo, making four kinds in total. By mixing older and newer hops, they create an aromatic gradient that never feels flat.
MugiWow, the hop combination changes it that much? Just hearing the names, some of them sound fishy, so my brain is having trouble keeping up.
Hop BroNo need to worry about that. In short, it is about balancing fruitiness and resinous character. Bright, but with a solid core, the kind of design that makes beer fans grin.
MugiAnd Kugayama is near the Kanda River promenade, right? If I drank this IPA after a spring walk, it would feel unbelievably good.
Hop BroExactly. The best part is being able to enjoy a freshly brewed glass together with the scenery. All right, today let's head out with Aromatic four and take our time chasing the hop aromas.
MugiLet's go! I want to drink it right now! This is definitely one of those times when you plan the toast before the walk.
At Mountain River Brewery in Kugayama, Suginami Ward, Tokyo, a new version of the IPA series "Aromatic four" has appeared. In the post, it is presented as a series that uses four kinds of hops to explore complex flavors.
This version is a West Coast IPA / Alc 6.0%. Its aroma profile is described with notes such as pineapple, tropical fruit, lime, lemon, berry, and candy, and it is characterized by an aroma design that has depth as well as brightness. While the bitterness is clearly present, the beer is said to be finished with drinkability in mind as well.
The hops used are four types: Mosaic, Meridian, Anchovy, and Zumo. By combining hops that emerged in the early 2010s with hops released over the past few years, the beer creates aromatic layers that never feel monotonous. It is a composition especially well suited to people who want to enjoy a balanced mix of hop-driven fruitiness and resinous character.
A Kanda River promenade is located near the shop, making it a place you can stop by on a spring walk. One of the charms of the Kugayama area is that you can enjoy a freshly brewed beer that only a brewery can offer while savoring the seasonal air. Try experiencing Mountain River Brewery's hop expression through this new IPA.
