Hop BroAt SEKIYA TAP STAND in Kunitachi, West Coast Brewing's Summer Breeze has been tapped. It's the perfect guest tap for early summer, so this is definitely one to check out.
MugiWhoa! Just the summer-y name makes me want to drink it! But DDH Hazy IPA? There goes another spell-like string of letters!
Hop BroDDH means it's dry-hopped heavily twice, which really pushes the hop aroma forward. Hazy is an IPA with a cloudy look, so it's easiest to understand as a beer designed to emphasize aroma.
MugiOhhh! So it's not just about bitterness, but more about attacking with aroma. And ABV 6.0% sounds pretty easy to drink, too!
Hop BroExactly, and this one is a collaboration with THE FARM. The aroma combines grapefruit and lemon-like citrus with tropical fruit and stone-fruit sweetness.
MugiGrapefruit, lemon, tropical fruit... that's a lot of information! My brain is already in a tropical snack stand. But what's stone fruit supposed to mean?!
Hop BroThink peaches or apricots, something with a soft, juicy fruit character. Then a sharp grassy note comes in, so it's not just sweet; that crisp edge is what makes it good.
MugiI see, so the grassy note acts as an accent. It's so stylish that I feel like my usual way of drinking can't keep up with the flavor description!
Hop BroBut SEKIYA TAP STAND is easy to stop by on the first floor of Sekiya in Kunitachi, and since it's open until 20:00, it's convenient after work too. When a beer like this gets added, the tap lineup changes a lot.
MugiThat's great! I want to stop by in the evening and go for an early-summer drink full of citrus and tropical flavor!
Hop BroThen tonight is settled. Let's go before the tap runs out and have a toast with Summer Breeze.
