Midtown tasting, thanks Tim. Pours bright amber, some beige foam on the top. Grassy nose, candy and bitter hops. Burnt caramel sugar, good hop bitterness, somewhat grassy overall feel. Warming. Bit harsh hops and not that balanced, still pleasant to drink.

50cl bottle pours a murky amber. Nose has malt, chewy grains, cider, a little booze, some cinnamon. Flavor is malt, orange, cinnamon. Hot finish. You could probably lay this down a little while.

Draught at the Great Japan Beer Festival 2009. Nice, fruity, cherry aroma. Lots of alcohol in the mouth, though. Lots of hops. Harsh but interesting. Light body, very estery. Nice looking orange color.
