Can, AC/08, five months before bbd. Pours hazy golden orange, with a huge, creamy head. Aroma is hoppy notes of orange marmalade, tangerines and some tropical notes of apricots, mango, lychee and compost minerals, as well as sweet malts with toffee. Medium body, with soft carbonation. Flavour is quite bitter hoppy notes of resin, with citrusy notes of orange peel, grapefruit, apricots and musty fruit peel, as well as malts with cereals and toffee. Resinous hoppy finish.

Oh la ho’s newest Raider release is an IPA and a craft cheapie available at Seijo Ishii for 325¥ or so. Cracking open the can it didn’t smell so great but in a glass this golden brew has a nice middle of the road hop bouquet. The taste is bitter herbal pine sap, too bitter and over the top. It’s ok but Captain Crow is better and so have been many others in this series. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Can. Caramel, grass, resiny pine in the nose. Rather sweet and also bitter, very old school and not particularly good at it either. Very disappointing from the makers of Thrash Lager. Not up to their standard.

Pours nice clear yellow, some white foam there as well. Nose is dry and herbal, super herbal hops actually. Taste is a bit thin, lots of bitterness, somewhat rough with its herbal and gassy dry feel. Lingering dry bitterness. Feels thinner bodies as its actually is, bone dry and quite bitter. Classical example of the style I think.
