Bottle at the brewery. Light amber colour, white head. Aroma is fresh, slightly fruity, bit citrus, bit grassy, but yeasty too. Plus the usual toffee/caramel. Taste is nice, fruity at the start, maybe bit of strawberry, solidly malty, long malty finish. Slight bitterness at end too. Pretty nice. Little bit of caramel too. With the yeast added, gets a bit earthier. Less hoppy, nice and malty.

Bottle at Automata. Pours a near clear yellow gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has earthy grain, light bread and a bit of wet grass underlying. Flavor is similar with wet grass, bread and a touch of sweet grain backing.

Bottle shared. Thanks TimE. Very old school nose with caramel and grassy notes dominating. Body is balanced but kind of simple. Mostly chewy caramel and some light hop character. Bitter finish. Simple.

Bottle 330ml "Tokyo Beer" 5.5 % (sampled in Kyoto)
Hazy amber color, small steady white head. Grainy, bready, hoppy aroma. Medium-bodied. Grainy, fruity flavor, some yeastyness. Mango, very light pine touch, sweetish. Really gives quite "bottle conditioned" feeling.

Bottle from Yamaya, it no longer says Pale Ale on the bottle just Bottle Conditioned. Bottled Sept. 2013. It pours a decent looking cloudy honey amber with a thin head of foam that dissipates somewhat quickly. The aroma is an appetizing fruity/herbal hoppiness. The body is on the thin side, it’s kind of watery. While the taste doesn’t measure up to the aroma. The taste is a bit chalky, pilsner grains, a bit bready, some caramel with some hop notes but much more subdued than in the aroma. Mild mouth puckering finish. Ok

ładny, chmielowy słodki zapach. nie tak mocny jak w ipach, ale w dalszym ciągu przyjemny. piana słaba, kolor złoty, ale mocno zmętniony. w smaku dość słodki, żywiczny z przyzwoitą goryczką

500 ml bottle. Pours nice orange, sightly hazy, visible carbonisation. Head is nice when freshly poured, dissipates fast. Aroma is quite fruity but not sweet. Thee is a small sour undertone, some herbal hops. Tropical fruits also. taste is a bit sour for some reason - making me think that maybe there is something wrong with the beer I am having. Otherwise there is some honey mixed with herbal hop flavours. Body is not too strong, feels actually quite nice as it is. Overall, a good ale, will need to try it again though to understand if this sourness should be there or not.
