Interesting fruity and floral aroma. Definitely get the pickled sakura thing. Quite sharp. Bit too sharp in fact. Caramel maltiness there too but not wild about this to be honest.

Tap at Japan Brewer's Cup 2018. Still had a bit of a cold, so my palate may not have been quite right. This is an IPA with pickled cherry leaves added. Nose is sakuramochi--cherry leaves. Glowing orange, clear. Flavor is cherry, some rich caramel malt, lemon, rather tannic, rough finish from the leaves.
