On tap at Craft Beer Bar iBrew - Shinbashi Eki mae, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out crisp grassy hops, straw, and crackery malt. Flavour is crisp, with biting grassy hops, some spiciness from the Saaz no doubt, and crisp crackery malt. Nicely balanced, well-hopped, with pleasing bitterness and crispness.

Golden amber with a giant off-white head and a grainy sweet honey aroma. A touch watery and gassy but with nice noble hop notes. Decent.

slightly hazy deep golden color. Frothy white head. Nice cereal malt nose with grassy hoppy notes. Dry, clean palate with nice undertones of toasted malt and cereal, with aggressive bitterness on top. A bit fuller bodied than usual but at 5.5% that makes sense. Well carbonated. Some fruity notes hit the back of the throat. Dry finish

Tap at Craft Beer Live 2019. Clear golden orange, head is too low. Fruity nose of Czech hops, but also quite a bit of estery fruits. Sweet, somewhat thing body, again a bit too estery for a lager. Seems to have been fermented too high temperature. More ale-like but a decent start.
