New DDH IPA 'GOLDENEYE' Debuts at Kagiya Brewery, a Pineapple-Scented Pour
DDH IPA 'GOLDENEYE' has arrived at Kagiya Brewery, the brewpub in Minamikase, Saiwai Ward, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture. Layering pineapple over Nectaron, Simcoe, and El Dorado hops, this is a dry-drinking beer finished at 6.0% ABV and 25 IBU.
Hop BroFrom Kagiya Brewery / Kagiya Brewery in Kawasaki, the DDH IPA GOLDENEYE has just made its debut. It is a pretty aroma-forward beer, with Nectaron, Simcoe, El Dorado, and pineapple layered together.
MugiWait, you layer in pineapple!? That sounds less like beer and more like a tropical juice. It's still an IPA, right?
Hop BroOf course it's an IPA. And at 6.0% and 25 IBU, it is designed to go down very smoothly despite how flashy it looks.
MugiIBU again! If it's 25, does that mean it isn't very bitter? Sometimes all these symbols start to look like code to me!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's a guide to bitterness. This one uses Simcoe first to create a smooth bitterness, then layers on more hops afterward to build up the aroma, so the key point is that it's not just bitter.
MugiSo you set the bitterness first and then add the aroma! And when you hear 'tropical aroma,' it already feels like a summer breeze is blowing through my head!
Hop BroOn top of that, they pack in all three hops in the whirlpool, and then add pineapple and hops again after fermentation. In other words, it has thick layers of aroma, making it a pretty carefully crafted DDH IPA.
MugiWhirlpool? What is that! It sounds like a spaceship part! You add more after fermentation too? Does the aroma really change that much that late?
Hop BroThe whirlpool is a process that draws hop character more toward aroma. And if you add more after fermentation, the aromas that do not easily blow off from heat tend to stay, which makes it easier to get both juiciness and a crisp finish.
MugiAnd it goes with BBQ and daytime drinking too, so it sounds really easy to enjoy! If even people who do not usually like IPA can try it, it might be perfect as a first drink.
Hop BroExactly. The name coming from the 007 film GoldenEye is playful too, and the fact that you can drink it at Kagiya Brewery makes it even more fun.
MugiAll right, if I spot it in Kawasaki, I'm definitely drinking it! My head is already full of this pineapple-scented pour, so I'm going to be restless all the way home!
DDH IPA 'GOLDENEYE' has debuted from Kagiya Brewery, the brewpub in Minamikase, Saiwai Ward, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Kanagawa. It is characterized by a tropical aroma that comes forward right away, followed by a clean, crisp finish, and is being introduced as a new release that balances juiciness with a sharp edge.
'GOLDENEYE' is a DDH IPA that layers pineapple flavor over the tropical aroma created by Nectaron, Simcoe, and El Dorado hops. The specs are 6.0% alcohol, 25 IBU, and 5 SRM. For the first wort addition, only Simcoe is used to build a smooth bitterness, and the whirlpool gets a substantial dose of all three hops. Pineapple and hops are then added after fermentation to deepen the aromatic layers.
The serving suggestion is straightforward. Chill it well and make it your first drink of the day, and the contrast between tropical aroma and dry finish comes through clearly. Designed to suit BBQs, outdoor gatherings, and daytime drinking, it is also easy for people who think IPA means 'heavy' or 'dense' to try. It has a balance that makes it easy to keep drinking and easy to choose for multiple rounds.
The name comes from the film 'GoldenEye' in the 007 series. Being able to taste a release like this at Kagiya Brewery's brewpub is part of what makes the place special. If you're looking for craft beer in Kawasaki, this 'GOLDENEYE' is one to check out.
