Hop BroA new release called "Dondoko Ale" has arrived from Vetococo Brewing in Awara City, Fukui Prefecture. The title alone already has a lot of energy.

Hop BroExactly. The style is an American Pale Ale. With ABV 5.0% and IBU 16, it's designed to go down smoothly and lightly.
MugiIBU 16 means it's not too bitter, right? Just looking at the number, I can tell the bitterness is restrained, but what is it really like?
Hop BroIt's definitely on the easy-drinking side. The hops are Columbus, Cascade, Simcoe, and Simcoe Cryo, with citrus aroma taking center stage, layered over a soft malt character.
MugiWhat! I thought Simcoe showed up twice, and now there's even Simcoe Cryo! It's basically a family reunion of hops!
Hop BroCryo is a way of using hop compounds in a concentrated form, which helps bring out aroma while reducing rough edges. In other words, it's an easy way to remember it as a technique for intensifying aroma.
MugiOh wow! And the caption is also saying there’s a canned version too, right? Being able to drink it calmly at home is really nice!
