Hop BroAt HOP MAN in Chigasaki, a newly tapped guest beer has arrived: Noboribetsu Jibeer Oni Densetsu Kinki Pale Ale Krush Single Ver.
MugiWhoa, that name is so long it looks like a mailing address on the label! But Kinki Pale Ale sounds kind of strong, so now I’m curious!
Hop BroThe beer itself is 5.5% ABV / 45 IBU, so it balances drinkability with a clear bitterness.
MugiI hear IBU a lot, but wait, what is it? Is that the number for bitterness? Is it a bitterness guide?
Hop BroExactly, it’s an indicator of bitterness. At 45, it has a solid hop presence, but instead of hitting hard, it comes together cleanly.
MugiOhhh! It says citrus for the aroma, and with stone fruit too, it’s basically the produce section!
Hop BroAnd because it’s the Krush Single Ver., the hop character comes through really clearly. Since it comes from the former HBC586, the tropical nuance layered in makes it especially interesting.
MugiSingle means, like, it shows off one kind of hop? Fewer blends, so its personality is easier to understand, maybe?
Hop BroThat’s right. So this one is great for enjoying the balance of bright aroma and softer bitterness. It should also pair well with savory dishes or something a little fatty.
MugiThen at HOP MAN, the moment it’s poured into the glass, it might win before I even take a sip just from the aroma before drinking! I’m getting pulled toward Chigasaki already!
Hop BroExactly, it’s the kind of beer that makes you think, I want to drink this right now. If you spot it around the Chigasaki Station area, it’s one to put on your next-beer list.
