Bottle at Attack Of The Tatsu. Pours a clear yellow gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has green tea and flora with growing grass and some sweet grains underlying. Flavor has an interesting combination of grass, citrus and green tea with a bit of sweet grain backing.

Weich hopfiger Beginn. Herb-würzig etwas trocken, leichte Süße, Noten von Lakritz, deutliche Bitterkeit, würzig, etwas Karamell, der Alkohol wird zunehemend mehr erkennbar. OK. 11/8/9/8/9/8

330ml bottle from Isetan, KLCC, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a slightly hazy green colour with a lasting frothy light green head. The aroma is herbal, matcha. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a crisp, dry, herbal, matcha, hop bitter palate and a lingering dry bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Matcha is for coffee and tea, not beer!

Started off hating this, but I gotta admit: it grew on me. Not an IPA in any American sense of the style, but offers up a crisp pale malt front followed by a boisterous herbaceous back end, full of fennel and anise and green tea. Very different, but tasty.

Bottle. Dark opaque green with a light green head. A bit of matcha, weeds, floral notes, tea. Not the best idea.

Japan - Thought they’d go all the way once the US was out the the picture, but it wasn’t to be. This beer is WILD, both in looks and taste. Vivid green, and super bitter from hops and tea. Slightly minty also. Crazy beer.

Bottle, undated, at Fins, 6/25/23. Wow that's horrifyingly neon green. Large, persistent mint head. Fruity, lightly piney hops with bitter green tea. Some lightly bready malts. Powdery bitterness, a bit sweet, low hops. Kinda sluggish. Can't get past that appearance, yikes.
