Tap at Lambic. Orange colour, big creamy off-white head. Aroma is skunky, cat pee, grapefruit, spiky malt, full on dipa. Taste is similar, lots of grapefruit bitterness, malt hiding behind it, but the bitterness dominates. Nice dipa, more on the citrus side than the malt side. Spiky.

Keg at Thrash Zone Meatballs - Yomohama. Pours unclear orange with a slim, creamy topping. The aroma holds ripening citrus, melon, oily pine, bread, mandarin orange. Medium to big sweet flavour with lots of ripe, jammy citrus, a little booze, bread, pine, mango. Full bodied, lightly carbonated, and oily and chewy. Warming and resinous to close, with further notes of ripe and jammy citrus, mango, strawberry, pale bread, moderate piney bitterness. Fun stuff, if a little heavy handed.

Fall Keyaki 2015. Hazy orange with a small off-white head that lingers. Big aromas of orange, grapefruit and iyokan with some faint malt. Good bitterness that hides the alcohol fairly well. Good malt sweetness on the palate with big citrus flavors. Fairly bitter finish. A very solid Imperial IPA. Not as good as Shiga’s House IPA or Y Market’s Demolition, but solid. --- Beer merged from original tick of Hop Slave Double IPA on 21 Sep 2015 at 17:54 - Score: 8

Clear golden with a white head. Nice pine and citrus aroma. Flavor has a strong citrus and pine note. Also has a nice sweet maltiness. Very dry finish. A nice IIPA. (This beer was made exclusively for Thrash Zone, Yokohama)

Dry hopped version, on cask at the Tokyo Real Ale Festival. Huge frothy head. Cloudy-ass yellow color. Humongous hop aroma. Lovely. Big bitterness, big hop flavor, honey and caramel malt. Over the top but very nice and much better than the non-dry-hopped version.
