Hop BroToday's topic is Minoh Brewery's spring news! An Instagram seasonal post went up at 10:41 on March 20.
MugiWhoa! A seasonal update first thing in the morning? That gets me hyped! But is the post text hard to see in some viewing environments?
Hop BroYep. But the official site’s March 18 news has the Blooming IPA details posted clearly.
MugiOhhh! A spring IPA sounds cute just from the name! What does it taste like?
Hop BroIt's a layered-aroma IPA with the spicy and floral character of Belgian yeast plus the bright aroma of American hops. Bitterness is restrained at IBU 21.
MugiWhat is that! What kind of creature is Belgian yeast!? Suddenly it's science class!
Hop BroSimply put, it's a yeast that brings out peppery and floral aromas during fermentation. On top of that, the recipe stacks Centennial, Citra, Cascade, and Amarillo, plus Nelson and Luminosa in the dry hop stage for a double-layer aroma boost.
MugiThat's a lot of information! But with mild bitterness and 6.0% ABV, I think even a craft-beer beginner like me can handle it!
Hop BroThe timing is smart too: sales at restaurants and liquor shops start gradually from March 16, and online sales begin at 5:00 p.m. on March 20. It's a two-pronged push through retail and e-commerce.
MugiAll right, decided! Let's toast tonight with Blooming IPA and go drink spring!
