Inkhorn Brewing introduces Silvereye 2026, a Citra- and Galaxy-led Hazy IPA
Inkhorn Brewing, based in Mejiro, Toshima Ward, Tokyo, has introduced Silvereye 2026, a 6.5% ABV Hazy IPA. Built around Citra and Galaxy, the beer is described as offering fruit-forward notes with a soft mouthfeel.
Hop BroMejiro just dropped something worth talking about: Silvereye 2026, a new Hazy IPA from Inkhorn Brewing. It's 6.5% ABV and built around Citra and Galaxy.
MugiWait, Hazy IPA is the cloudy one that looks almost like juice, right? Even the name sounds sparkly.
Hop BroExactly. It's properly hazy but still soft on the palate, with peach and passionfruit vibes jumping out of the glass.
MugiHold on, Citra and Galaxy sounds like space movie dialogue. Those are hop names?
Hop BroThey are, and pretty expressive ones. Citra leans citrusy, Galaxy brings tropical punch, and this recipe is careful about not overplaying Galaxy.
MugiThat's amazing. So hops can be attention hogs too? And what is Citra LUPOMAX supposed to be, a finishing move?
Hop BroIt does sound like one. Really, it's a concentrated hop format that helps boost aroma intensity while keeping rough edges under control.
MugiOhhh, and since it also uses Nelson Sauvin, do you get a white grape note in there too? Look at me sounding knowledgeable.
Hop BroThat's a fair read. The malt bill of Extra Pils, oats, wheat, and Carapils is there to support that soft mouthfeel, and the balance should open up as it warms.
MugiI'm done for, this explanation gave me a one-way ticket to Mejiro. This does not sound like a one-glass situation.
Hop BroProbably not. Inkhorn Brewing is good at making a locally rooted beer with a clear hop identity, and this one feels right in that lane.
MugiThen it's settled. Let's pour Silvereye 2026 tonight and argue over whether we're tasting peach, grapefruit, or both.
Inkhorn Brewing, based in Mejiro, Toshima Ward, Tokyo, has introduced its new Hazy IPA, Silvereye 2026. The beer comes in at 6.5% ABV and uses Citra and Galaxy as the core of the hop bill, with Citra LUPOMAX and Nelson Sauvin also included.
In the post, the brewery describes the hop character as resembling peach, passion fruit, and grapefruit. Although the beer is clearly hazy in appearance, it is presented as soft on the palate, with the overall balance becoming more integrated as the beer warms. The brewery also notes that Galaxy was kept in check so its character would not dominate the profile.
Inkhorn Brewing is a Tokyo brewery with a base in Mejiro. Silvereye 2026 fits the brewery's straightforward, hop-forward approach and gives beer fans another example of how the team builds aromatic, fruit-driven beers without pushing the bitterness too far.
