Bottle from Isetan in Shinjuku. Cloudy dark copper color with a medium-height, foamy, off-white head. Hoppy aroma (Kent Goldings) with caramel malt (Maris Otter). Grassy, piney; rather subtle but nice. Fruity, hoppy flavor with lightish malts, caramel, and a great hop presence: great aroma and long, hard, bitter finish. Dark fruits and a touch of cedar in there as well. Amazingly smooth and rich palate, with low carbonation. Drinkable and very pleasant.
