West Coast x Inkhorn 'Bird of Paradise' Hazy DIPA

"Hazy Double IPA w/Luminosa, Nectaron, Mosaic & Mosaic CRYO

A cross-collaboration with “Inkhorn Brewing” that has become one of the joys of every year. The third installment is Hazy DIPA! ! !

The brewers traveled between Tokyo, Mejiro and Shizuoka, Mochimune to create the long-awaited cup. A common feature is the use of “CRYO” hops during dry hopping in the early stages of fermentation. Furthermore, this WCB-released beer uses the Inkhorn crew's favorite hop, "Nectaron," and follows their lead in malt distribution by choosing a generous amount of Wheat. (The Inkhorn release features that hop that WCB loves...??)

How about the taste of new discoveries that are created by taking advantage of each other's knowledge of hops and incorporating each other's sensibilities and worldviews?

A tropical aroma reminiscent of papaya, mango, and pineapple, combined with the impression of peach, nectarine, and cantaloupe, making it super tropical! ! ! Excellent balance with just the right amount of sweetness and a gentle bitterness.

During preparation at WCB, I happened to find a single bird of paradise flower in Mochimune. A bird with beautiful, shining feathers seemed to be standing quietly, swaying in the wind. I guess they are kindly watching over us as we sometimes play around with each other and sometimes raise each other's spirits." -West Coast Brewing
