Hop BroBrasserie Knot's HARBOR has been newly tapped at HOP MAN in Chigasaki. It's a collaboration with T.Y. Harbor Brewery, so today's a pretty good chance to catch it.
MugiWait, just hearing new tap makes me want to go! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's a SESSION IPA, with 4.0% alcohol and IBU 45. It's a great balance: light and easygoing, but with the hop aroma really standing out.
MugiIBU 45? What does that even mean! I know higher numbers mean more bitterness, but how bitter is IBU 45 in practice?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's a measure of bitterness. It has a sharp bitterness, but not the kind that feels heavy or crushing. It finishes cleanly.
MugiOh wow! And the aroma is tropical fruit and strawberry? That sounds almost too flashy for beer.
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. Because it has a light body, the aroma opens up gently without making it tiring to drink. It's easy to enjoy both as a first glass and with food.
MugiSo that means it's a good first beer for the night? That makes it easy for everyone to order!
Hop BroExactly. And HOP MAN updates its taps quickly, so it's the kind of place that's fun to keep up with. If you're looking for an IPA in Shonan with a bright aroma and light drinkability, this one is a must.
