Bottle from a Japanese market. Pours shocking dark green with a large foamy light green head, citrus-matcha aroma, adequate carbonation, mildly bitter matcha taste with citrus flavor, thin smooth body, long finish. Very interesting beer.

Super deep, and very funky bright green coloured body with a darker funky green head that fades quickly and leaves a deep, funky pure green lace on the sides that isn’t like any beer, but of course, is sort of like a matcha tea - wierd. Aroma of tea, light grass, flowers, light grain and a bunch of fresh-cut grass, mixed with some herbal green tea, not too pleasant here. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal notes show at first with a lot of green tea and herbal elements and a surprisingly nice hop bitterness from some. enjoyable hops here with a light dose of flowers towards the end. Aftertaste is dry and very grassy here without much else going on, aside from the bitterness and a bit of hay noticeable on the end, with the tea and grass the strongest of course. Overall, a pretty nice, surprisingly, given the colour and the scent, but the bitterness and grassiness is pretty nice, considering the options. I sampled this 33 cL bottle, purchased from Tamura’s Wine & Liqours in Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii on 12-April-2022 for US$5,39 sampled two days later in my hotel room here in Wailea, Maui, Hawaii on Spring Break with my wife and kids on 14-April-2022.

330 ml bottle at Palette Tea House in San Francisco. Herbal, malty aroma. Flavor is bitter herbs . Light and crisp with note of parsley and tea.

Bottle. Green-brown beer with a green head. Floral and light malt aroma. Grapefruit and floral flavor with light tea. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Grapefruit and tea linger with floral notes and backing malt.

Nagy, örökké tartós, zöld hab, sötétzöld szín. Füves, teás, enyhén fűszeres illat. Erőteljes, füves, zöld teás ízek, némi fűszeres jelleggel. Közepesen testes, közepesen szénsavas, erősen keserű. Kellemes, érdekes ízvilágú sör.

Green brownish IPA beer with Matcha. Really nice and balanced. Japan for the win!

Aroma liquorice mint. Taste less offensive. But boozy.

(Bottle) Wow, this pours clear deep green with a short-lived bright green head. Pleasant aroma with a mix of light toffee, hops and hints of green tea. Medium body with great carbonation. The taste is unusual and impressive. There’s plenty of hoppy bitterness from start to finish. There’s some pleasant balancing sweetness at the start, both a light malt and candy. There’s grassy vegetable notes in the start. The matcha comes through most distinctly in the finish where there is good hoppy bitterness and matcha. There’s a bit of alcohol bite towards the end too.

Kizakura Matcha 9% I heard this was bad and as it poured out dark green like a kale smoothie with a green head of foam I’m wondering if the luck of the Irish is with me and it’s not as bad as I heard. 9% ABV has me thinking WTF? It’s smells like a yeasty estery Belgian beer. The taste is the same with the only matcha character being green tea bitterness up front, a chalky mouthfeel and a bit of matcha sweetness in the finish/aftertaste. This is the beer you give as a dare/gag gift. Weird.

Surprisingly good! Green. Almost my favorite tea beer. The matcha bitterness compliments the hops well.
