On tap at Hopa. Had my expectations super high for this, but it turned out to be “only” a well rounded, tasty NEDIPA. Átlag BYM amugy.

So about a month ago, the beer community in Kansai was very excited as North Brewing and Wylam Brewing from the UK launched at Kamikaze and quickly showed up in tons of bars. Unfortunately Wylam is Tap only so I’ve yet to try them but I got a can from North Brewing, this particular beer is probably sold out now but there seem to be others out there. North Brewing x Finback Double IPA 8% Hazy gold with a thick head that leaves tons of lacing. It has a nice rich fruity aroma that is juicy haze with a bit of old skool bitterness. Nice medium body which gives you the chuwy oats. The taste is juicy hazy semi-tropical with a tangy citrus character. It is a solid NEIPA, and I think the price was about 1000¥ so 2-500¥ cheaper than similar imports from the US.

Turbid white golden color. Uber dank, fairly sweet nose with rotten mango, not even ripe mangoes. Low medium carbonation good dankness, very juicy but fruit doesn’t shine shine. Still rounded and very drinkable.

440ml can from Pigalle. Pours creamy yellow orange, hazy and has some white foam on the top. Thin white bubbles. Nose is fruity, some resiny hop character, feeling very fresh. Thick and chewable and dank. Tastes thick, hop cream, fruity sweetness but hop bitterness adds dank grassy notes with a touch of resins. Pretty amazing balance, hoppy and resiny, tasty. really works for me, hits the spot. Unreal.

Tap (Szynkarnia, Wrocław). Soczyste, owocowe, tropikalne z przyjemną, gryzącą goryczką pozostawiającą długi posmak. Lekkie w odbiorze bez krztyny alkoholu, świetnie się pije a nieprzejrzysty, zmetniony, żółty kolor przywodzi na myśl soczek owocowy.

Can. Color: Very hazy golden, frothy white head. Aroma: Citrus and tropical fruit hop. Taste: Combination of moderate to medium bitterness and sweet malt, pretty strong tropical fruit: Pineapple, citrus, some mango and orange. Over medium body, below average carbonation. Bitter palate at pretty long lasting fruity finish. Pretty nice.
