HOP IDOL MOTUEKA
HOP LDOL モチュエカ
A sour IPA featuring New Zealand hops offering vibrant lime notes balanced out by the beer's creamy mouthfeel

Naming:
If IPAs were considered to be a show, there's no denying that the star of it is the hops. Normally it's more like a blend - a band, if you will - of multiple hops performing together. For this series, however, it's a solo artist - a "Hop Idol", if you will, showcasing their individual talents on the big stage. Who would you vote for? The star of this show is Motueka, a very uniquely New Zealand hop that is most well known for its lime-like aroma and flavour, and for this we leaned into its character fully!

Can from Isetan. Pours a slightly hazy pale gold with a tall head. Nose is brilliant tropical fruit and citrus, definitely lime, rather acidic, with clean malt. Nice tropical fruit in the flavor, sour, lots of lime, some kind of fruity gum balls as well. Not sweet, light bread or crackers. Very crisp and clean. Like this. Medium bitterness in the finish.
