Prices have been creeping up a lot this year at Ise Kadoya so your best bet is to buy direct and often get a set to avoid even more inflated retail prices... Ise Kadoya Imperial IPA 10% Lovely amber orange with a dense beige foam that lingers and leaves generous lacing. Fruity stone fruits and jam aroma. Full bodied, a bit boozy but very nice candy coated fruits with sweet malts. Really good, the ABV was a surprise.

Bottle at the Japanese Craft beer tasting at the White Horse. It pours clear amber, with a thick foamy beige head and fairly low carbonation. The nose is cardamom, wood, caramel, nutmeg and paprika. The taste is resin, wood, malt vinegar, bread, cardamom, fig, currant, raisin and ginger towards the finish. A very exotic tasting double IPA.

On tap at the White Horse. Big thanks to Doug, Jamie and Mark for arranging, facilitating and serving. Cheers Guys! Hazy orange beer, tiny white head. Smooth and silky palate with a paradoxical crisp edge. Lovely lime and citrus sherbet with pithy bitter edge. Some orange tangerine in the aftertaste. A really nice DIPA - hugely drinkable with a vibrant exotic fruitiness. Lovely!

Dark amber color. Caramel, citrus and toffee in the nose. Caramel and citrusy mouth. A bit on the sweet side, but not too malty. Very drinkable. Alcohol well hidden Moderately bitter finish. Excellent.

Hazy orange with a tall white head. Malty, hops, some citrus, grass, and strong caramel in the aroma. Full bodied. Strong caramel malts, sweet, earthy, grass, and very light citrus in the flavor. Alcohol is also present. It’s decent, but disappointing, actually. I rated this off the bottle. Had it on draught near the Ise Temple and it was a bunch better, probably the 3.7-3.8 range.

Draught at the brewery. 10 varieties of hops used, put in every minute over 120 minutes. Pretty amber color. Huge, complex, hop aroma, with citrus, grass, pine, and underlying caramel malts. Lovely nuanced hop flavors, layered and elegant, with enough malt to back it up. Fruit, caramel, and hops galore. Bitterness is mild at first, but then kicks in strongly later, and yet it really is a refined and restrained bitterness that works perfectly. Superb. (I have had this several times, and the later ones tended to be far too sweet.)
