MugiWait, that name sounds so cool! What does GOLDENEYE taste like?
Hop BroIt’s built for full-on tropical vibes, layering Nectaron, Simcoe, and El Dorado, plus pineapple on top.
MugiWhat is that! Three kinds of hops already have my head spinning, and now you’re adding pineapple too? That’s way too festive!
Hop BroThe trick is that they use only Simcoe as the first wort hop to create a clean bitterness.
MugiFirst wort? That just sounds like a spell! So it’s like building the bitterness foundation first?
Hop BroExactly. They add hops to the first part of the wort to keep the rough edges down while giving the beer definition. Then they amplify the aroma in the whirlpool.
MugiWhoa, so there’s real technique behind making it aromatic! And it’s juicy but dry too? That’s amazing.
Hop BroWith 6.0% ABV, IBU 25, and SRM 5, it comes together as an easy-drinking IPA that’s neither too heavy nor too light.
MugiIt says it goes well with BBQ and daytime drinking, so this is absolutely something to drink outside! I’d want to bring it well chilled.
Hop BroThe name comes from the James Bond film “GoldenEye,” and the golden color should look great too. This is definitely the kind of beer I’d want as my first drink.
MugiYeah, the pineapple aroma gets you excited, and it finishes clean at the end. That’s almost unfair! I want to try an IPA that doesn’t wear me out right now!
Kagiya Brewery CAGHIYA TAP ROOM in Nakahara Ward, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa, has newly unveiled DDH IPA “GOLDENEYE (Goldeneye).”
According to the official announcement, this beer is characterized by a design that gently subverts the idea that “IPA means heavy and rich.” While offering a tropical aroma, it is introduced as having an astonishingly dry mouthfeel and a finish that slips away cleanly. Alcohol content is 6.0%, IBU is 25, and SRM is 5.
The hop bill uses only Simcoe as the first wort hop to create a clean bitterness, then loads the whirlpool with Nectaron, Simcoe, and El Dorado. After fermentation, pineapple and hops are added, layering the aroma further. The brewery says the design not only brings out pineapple-like juiciness, but also aims for an aroma reminiscent of stone fruit.
The key point is that it does not lean too far toward either juiciness or sharpness. Fruitiness comes forward, yet the beer feels less heavy as you keep drinking, while the IPA-style bitterness tightens the overall balance. It is presented as a type that is easy to choose as either a first drink or a later round.
As a serving suggestion, it is recommended to enjoy it well chilled. The official guidance says it pairs well with BBQ, outdoor activities, and daytime drinking. The name comes from the James Bond film “GoldenEye,” and is said to combine the image of the gold-colored liquid with pineapple.
GOLDENEYE can be described as a new release suited for people looking for an IPA that delivers tropical aroma without becoming tiring to drink.
