Hop BroMejiro’s Inkhorn Brewing has released Prothonotary Warbler, a beer with seriously deep haze.
MugiWhoa! That name sounds like a spell. Is it a super cloudy beer?
Hop BroIt’s a Hazy Pale Ale at an easygoing 5.0% ABV, built to balance drinkability with big hop character.
MugiNice! What does it smell like? With all that haze, I’m getting major juice vibes already!
Hop BroExpect a tropical hop aroma reminiscent of pink grapefruit and pineapple, with a bright citrus lift too.
MugiWhat even is hop aroma? Do brewers spray hops on it like perfume? Is it a hop-filled bathtub?
Hop BroNot quite! It means drawing out the fragrant compounds in hops. This beer blends six hop varieties, including Citra and Idaho 7.
MugiSix kinds?! Your fridge would probably be packed wall to wall with hops!
Hop BroExtra Pils malt, oats, wheat, and lactose also create a slightly coconut-like oily mouthfeel.
MugiOily? Am I going to leave with shiny lips? But coconut hints sound like a tropical little vacation!
Hop BroExactly. It has fullness without lingering sweetness or heaviness, so you get body plus crispness in one glass.
MugiI want to visit the Mejiro taproom and taste that haze and hop bite myself. I’m ready for a toast!
Inkhorn Brewing, based in Mejiro, Toshima, Tokyo, has announced its new beer, Prothonotary Warbler. Classified as a Hazy Pale Ale, the beer has an ABV of 5.0% and is distinguished by a dense haze that the brewery describes as almost matte in appearance.
The hop character suggests pink grapefruit and pineapple, while the palate brings together a slightly oily, coconut-like texture and a dry, powdery sensation. Although the body and sweetness do not linger, the beer retains enough weight in its mouthfeel to deliver a satisfying hop presence and drinking experience for its relatively moderate strength.
The malt bill includes Extra Pils, oats, and wheat. Its hop lineup features Citra, Simcoe Cryo, Krush LUPOMAX, Citra LUPOMAX, Idaho 7, and Mega Motueka. Lactose is also used, while fermentation relies on Inkhorn’s house yeast.
Inkhorn Brewing operates in Mejiro, Toshima, Tokyo. Its brewery is located at 2-2-2 Mejiro and welcomes visitors from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays, and from noon to 7 p.m. on weekends and holidays.
With its 5.0% ABV, Prothonotary Warbler is positioned for occasions when drinkers want a lower-alcohol beer without giving up hop flavor. Its dense haze, citrus and tropical fruit aromas, layered mouthfeel, and restrained lingering sweetness make it a distinctive addition to Inkhorn Brewing’s lineup.
