Very hazy amber golden color. Frothy white head. Very juicy, dank, nose with lots of red and white gummy bears. Easy drinking, low carbonation, low bitterness, juicy mouth. Could use more carbonation. Dank. Nice stuff without going to the next level. Highly drinkable

Tap at Molto. Nose is nice. Orange, mango, pineapple. Big and juicy. Deep golden-orange, cloudy, low thick head. Sweet and juicy, no bitterness. Fruity juice is nice enough but it disappears without a whisper. There is none of the hop spiciness that makes one of these great. Finish dies, otherwise pretty good.

Tap at Yellow Ape's 5th Anniversary, 700yen a half-pint. I am pretty sure this is a NE IPA style beer and I found it easily comparable in quality to Kagami-Biraki from Shiga Kogen. Opaque gold with a thick soapy white head and a tropical plus prickly pear aroma. Medium to light bodied and dry. This is a crisp clean beer bursting with flavor. Great!
