Tap at SVB Kyoto. Pale clear gold, with a really grainy sweet macro-lager nose, maybe a touch of floral but minute hop premise. The flavor was the same but this is a slick overly sweet macro-lager with no real dryness or crispness or anything notable as being "fresh hopped" it could be that the Ibuki hop is on the weak side but I am guessing they were cheap and barely hopped it. So. Damn. Lame.

Tap at SVB Kyoto. Pale gold with a light haze and lace. Rough vegetal and resin nose, a touch of citrus, malty. Rather harsh and astringent hop flavor, resiny, ok malt. These Ibuki fresh hops are not very convincing. Low carbonation. A taster is enough.
