On tap pours out hazy golden topped with a white head. Nose is nice sweet tropical fruit hops some citrus and a little melon. Taste is more of the nice sweet tropical fruit forward hops and a nice citrus kick.

Hazy. Tons of bright juicy notes that definitely skews sweet. Full bodied. No bitterness to be found anywhere. It’s solid and expected of the style but not really doing a lot for me.

10oz pour is a pulpy gold with some creamy, white head. Nose has melon, apricot, canned peaches, orange creamcicle. Flavor has more, pineapple and passionfruit curd, vanilla is clear, peachy too. A little dank and grassy. Pillowy finish. High end. 8 4 8 4 15

Soft, juicy, loads of orange. Everything in place. Bit of twiggy bitterness in there though. Nice though. Something a bit off though.

Tap at y market. Lupulin Nectar Golden opaque honey in color with virtually no head. A juicy tang like hop bouquet wafts from the glass, both smell so good it is tough to choose a favorite. Dryer than cloudy sky with a medium to light bodied and scratcher carbonation. They being said the fruity tangy citrus and pineapple/mango is better integrated. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

very turbid, white and amber color. Light frothy white head. White grapefruit and orange gummies everywhere. Super smooth, low carbonation, tons of white grapefruit and orange gummy bears with some oats. Amazingly well balanced. So juicy. So drinkable. Dry. This is the best NE IPA in Japan. Still not up there with the best of of the best from US, but competitive Having this at the brewery two years later, I am not as enthused, thought without a doubt this is still top notch. But feel it’s a bit too heavy and sweet, though just a touch, and lacks the alpha acidity I like for the style. Still fantastic but lowering from previous 4.3 rating in 2017

Tap @ CBM Toranomon, New England vs West Coast event. Looks nice hazy golden orange, some sticky foam on top. Super fruity juicy NE nose, hops and tropics, papaya and pear in just excellent balance. Tastes juicy, fruits are there but not very sweet, this is dry! Dry hoppy fake juice. Perfect balance, it's 7.7% abv and drinks as if there's no alcohol at all. Hop dust and nice wheaty NE mouthfeel. Probably the best NEIPA from Japan so far, competes with the best ones in the world.

Tap at Yellow Ape. Nice, juicy fruit nose, tropical, citrus, oranges. Cloudy pale golden. Grainy flavor, bread and crackers, heavy. Decent but not convincing for the NE style.
