New Hokkaido Yabai Tanuki Cold IPA
This Cold IPA presents a lean, ultra-crisp profile designed to showcase vibrant Southern Hemisphere hops. The inclusion of Hokkaido rice and Jasmine rice creates a neutral, bone-dry canvas that strips away malt weight, allowing the Kohai and Galaxy hops to deliver intense, unadulterated layers of papaya, kiwi, and mixed berry. Bridging the gap between a modern American IPA and a clean, lager-like fermentation, it offers high drinkability with a sharp, refreshing finish. The sensory experience is defined by this impeccable balance, where the delicate floral notes of the rice grain bill support a bold, tropical fruit-forward hop intensity without any lingering sweetness.
Appearance. Very pale straw to light gold (SRM 3–5). Brilliant clarity with a medium-sized, bright white head featuring excellent persistence and fine lacing.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by tropical fruit notes of papaya, kiwi, and ripe mixed berries. Very low, neutral grainy maltiness with a subtle, delicate floral hint from the jasmine rice. Exceptionally clean fermentation profile with no discernible esters.
Taste. Initial impression is sharply dry and hop-forward. High hop flavor mirrors the aroma with vivid papaya, kiwi, and berry notes. Very low malt character that is crisp and grainy. Bitterness is firm and assertive but remains clean and well-integrated. The finish is bone-dry and crisp with a lingering, hoppy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, crisp texture. Medium-high carbonation. Very light, smooth alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated. Entirely free of astringency or harshness.
