Hop BroToday's highlight is the "Nama no Nekokan" that has arrived at WITCH CRAFT Market in Kumamoto. It's a Hazy IPA newcomer from the collaboration between NAMACHA Brewing and NEKO BEER.
MugiWait, "Nama no Nekokan"!? It has such a cute name, and it's beer!
Hop BroExactly, and because it's built on New Zealand hops, the aroma is really vibrant.
MugiAre New Zealand hops really that different? I'm curious what "tropical notes" taste like!
Hop BroThey give off impressions like mango and passion fruit. There's also a citrus-like aroma, so it's fun how it balances both citrus and tropical character.
MugiOh! I had the image that hazy beers would be heavy, but if it has a soft mouthfeel, it sounds easy to drink!
Hop BroThat's right. The appeal of a Hazy IPA isn't just the haze - it's about bringing the aroma forward without making the bitterness sharp, and this one is all about enjoying the hop aroma.
MugiIf you're looking in Kumamoto, having more than 400 varieties on hand sounds incredibly reassuring! It seems like you'd get lost, but in a fun way!
Hop BroAbsolutely. For guest beers like this, the right choice is whatever fits your mood that day, and it's perfect for a springtime change of pace.
MugiJust thinking about it makes my throat want it already! Tonight I want to toast with a collaboration Hazy IPA!
Hop BroThen it's settled. If I spot it in Kumamoto, I'd like a glass too, and let's put it on the list of beers to try today.
