Aomori Brew Pub taps "Iwakisan no Haru," now serving a spring American IPA
At Aomori Brew Pub in Aomori City, Be Easy Brewing's seasonal new release "Iwakisan no Haru" has begun pouring. As an American IPA (5.5%), it highlights a light malt bill and a blend of multiple hops, with an easy-drinking balance suited to the warmer season.
Hop BroAt Aomori Brew Pub in the Aomori Station area, Be Easy Brewing's "Iwakisan no Haru" has gone on tap. When a spring-like IPA arrives, even the atmosphere inside the bar feels a little brighter.
MugiWhoa! Just the name Iwakisan no Haru already grabs me! Spring at Mount Iwaki sounds like the kind of thing you could drink in a glass with the scenery.
Hop BroIt's an American IPA at 5.5%. The alcohol is solid, but the beer is built to avoid feeling heavy, so it's balanced for easy drinking in early spring.
MugiHuh? But when you say malt bill, it suddenly sounds like science class. What's different about it?
Hop BroThe base this time is a light malt composition. Pilsner malt, wheat, and a small amount of Caramel Pils create a backbone that isn't too sweet and goes down smoothly.
MugiI see! So the hops aren't going wild? I noticed it says the hop amount is kept modest, which was a little surprising!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. The aroma is lifted through the layering of multiple hops, but it's kept from becoming too assertive. They use Nelson Sauvin, Waimea, Motueka, and Peacharine from Freestyle.
MugiWhat is that! It sounds delicious just from the names! And they even added Hop Kief? That sounds like a secret weapon!
Hop BroExactly. They also add Motueka Hop Kief to softly deepen the aromatic outline. The overlapping citrus and tropical notes make it feel bright and springlike at the same time.
MugiNow I have a reason to drink in Aomori! It really feels like a beer for cherry blossom season. I want to sit inside and enjoy it slowly.
Hop BroYeah, it's worth checking the current tap list early. If we take in this spring American IPA by the glass, I bet both of us will want another one.
