the name is a bit of misnomer. medium light amber color. Nothing hazy about this at all. Frothy white head. Nice biscuit malty nose with apricot and citrus notes. Semi-dry, borderline astringent mouth, but nice malty backbone that supports a hop onslaught with intense bitterness. Slightly boozy and warming but not overly so. Dry finish with biting lingering bitterness. Pretty good but not mind blowing. Abv could be taken down a notch and malt sweetness could be amped up a touch. Still enjoyable stuff.

Tap at Komachi. Amber-orange and almost clear. Not really hazy. Lacy head. Bright tropical fruit hops, orange and honey. Light add crisp, becoming dry after a bit of sweet honey and biscuts. Stinky mango, almost durian and lots of pine. Prickly, bitter finish.
