Tap. Juicy, peppery, orange, yuzu, cardamon. Wheaty and a touch pasty flavor, great hops, juicy and fruity. Just a bit too wheaty for me but good.

Tap @ Keyaki Beer Festival Autumn 2017. Had a full pint of this. Poured hazy yellow, nice haze with some white bubbles on top. Smooth, NE nose, mainly juicy, some apricot and pear, also a slight hop grass. Taste is smooth and juicy, decent medium-stronger body, drinks well as the juice is strong with this one. Drank quickly, so although planned to have this as my last for the day, needed to get something more after this. If you see it in a menu, order it!

Very cloudy amber color. Modest hop aromas of apricots and citrus. The mouth is light and smooth, with modest bitterness. Highly quaffable. Modest bitter finish. The hops don’t sing in this beer like many beers NE style IPAs I’ve had in the past and also the malt backbone isn’t showcased. This is definitely a bit more hop forward for the style. That said, it is immensely drinkable for 8% and I regretted getting only a half a pint.
