Tap at Shinshu Sake. Quite cloudy blond colour, creamy off-white head. Aroma is bitter and lemony. Taste is lemony again, quite bitter. Possibly bit unexciting but I quite like it. Bit creamy and wheaty too. Rerate 25/10/13 Crisp. Spritzy. Taste is lemon, grain decent bitterness slightly herbal. Aroma is coriander maybe basil, floral. Liked it again.

Draft at Ushitora. Hazy light gold with a small white head. Lemon, white grapefruit, coriander, white pepper with some crackery notes on the nose. Taste is soft and minerally with some light graininess (wheat I’m guessing) with some nice pith-like bitterness that stands out. The pepper and coriander shine on the finish. Not overbearing at all and very refreshing. --- Beer merged from original tick of Even Prime White IPA on 06 Aug 2015 at 19:40 - Score: 7

Tap at Craft Heads, Tokyo. Hazy orange color, small white head. Spicey, citrusy aroma. Medium-bodied. Citrus, gooseberries, coriander-like spices. Nice wheat ipa although not my favourite style.

vegetale hoppy nose. Light body, dry well balanced. Very easy to drink. Crisp. Hops are in the nose but not in the finish. Highly quaffable. Excellent.

A bottle for 450 yen from Asahiya, 6.5%. Pours a slightly cloudy gold with a white head. Lemon or Yuzu aroma, mild spice & some bitterness. Hmm, the first time I’ve tasted bubblegum in a beer but it was fleeting. The fruitiness is nice and matches the hop bitterness well but the spicy aspect of a white beer is kind of rough. Worth trying but it is just ok.

Draught at CBM. Cloudy yellow, fine lace. Funky, hoppy nose—light barnyard, whart, citrus hops, grapefruit. Sweet, malty flavor, somewhat Belgian yeast spect, much like their ISS but not as good. Rather tart.
