Juice!! A boldly over-the-top West Coast-style triple dry-hopped Imperial IPA; one for the hop lovers!

[Character]
A shamelessly over-the-top fruit-forward West Coast-style triple dry-hopped Imperial IPA. Huge tropical aromatics accompany this beer, with aromas of sweet citrus, pink grapefruit, and resinous pine. Modern techniques look to get the best out of the enormous hopload, with a slight booziness present with a clean light malt body. This one is for all the hop lovers out there!
[Food Pairing]
Prawn tempura with lemon salt, Sichuan style "yodare" chicken, roast pork with plenty of herbs
[Naming]
This mini series focuses on the enhancement of IPA as a style, and its evolution. We consider this to be a project - our Apollo program, if you will - and for that reason we decided to give similarly themed names, kicking off with Arion, and now with Orion.
[Brewer's Voice]
The second in our modern Thiol-centric beer series, this beer is also predominantly based on a West Coast-style IPA. This might seem surprising at first glance, given that there is a strong amount of haze, but this is simply due to the sheer amount of hops that even the highly flocculant West Coast ale yeast and the clean malt bill can't prevent. The base malt profile of this beer consists of just Pilsner with some very light Munich for a touch of biscuit flavour and body. Moving on to everyone’s favourite part: the hops. We uses a generous amount all through this beer from the brewhouse all the way to packaging. On the hot side, we used a blend of Centennial, Chinook, Motueka, and Waimea, with added Phantasm for its thiol boosting precursors. The goal here was to overlap thiol compounds to achieve a sweet citrus, pink grapefruit, and resinous pine character. We continued this through with a fermentation dry hop of more Motueka, Waimea, and this time some Strata as well. For our further dry hop, we added another large helping of Strata and some Rakau for its rich almost overripened tropical citrus notes. To finish it off, this beer was cold conditioned with some more added Waimea and Rakau hops to give it just a little bit more fresh hop aromatics. At 8%, this beer has some amazing yeast esters that complement the fruity and dank hop aroma. As is typical for a West Coast style beer, this brew has a crisp and dry finish, helping to maintain its drinkability even at the higher ABV. This is another beer for the hoppiest of hop lovers!

Brewer's Notes

Series: KBC2.0シリーズ
Hops: Centennial, Chinook, Mega Motueka, Waimea, Strata, Rakau
Character 前作（アリオン）が「ジューシーで立体感のある香り」に対して、ヲリオンは「高密度・爆発系」。うんとたくさんのホップの個性を最大限に活かす現代的な手法を取り入れ、ほどよく感じるアルコール感に、クリーンで軽めのモルトボディがみごとに調和。トロピカルなアロマが怒涛の如く押し寄せ、シトラス、ピンクグレープフルーツ、松脂のような香りがわーっと広がる。まさにホップを愛する人のための一杯。
Food Pairing レモン塩で食べるえび天、四川風よだれ鶏、豚肩ロース肉のハーブロースト
Naming 歴史に裏打ちされた伝統的なビール醸造とは別に、まだ見ぬ味わいや香りを追い求める醸造家の挑戦は今も尚とどまることを知らず、その結果これまでに数々のトレンドを生み出してきました。その背景には、時代の先端を行く科学とテクノロジーの進化があり、新たなホップが次々と開発され、次世代のスターとしてビールの歴史に新たな1ページを刻み続けています。 このラボ「変革」は、そうした最先端技術から生まれた香り高いホップを駆使し、IPAの常識を打ち破る、まだ誰も体験したことのないビールを生み出す実験室。そして2025年、最新のIPA像を体現する4つのプロジェクト──「アリオン」「ヲリオン」「ハベリオン」「ソカリオン」──を発表します。
