Tap @ CBM Toranomon, New England vs West Coast event. Pours light yellow, bit of haze. Nose has some super light fruits and NE hop dust character. Taste has some bitter biscuity feel at first, some tart fruity notes and bit of hop dust bitterness. Quite watery body but that's only 3.5% abv, so you can expect that. Light fruity finish, quite dry and lightly bitter. Sessionable yes, light NE character, yes, anything else, not really.

Very turbid medium amber color. Lots of tropical fruit in the nose with some white gummy bears. Fairly smooth mouth, but not a ton of depth. Just kinda sits there, lifeless, directionless. Flat boring finish. Meh. Quaffable if anything.

Draught at the Ichinoseki Beer Fest 2017. big, uicy, fruity hop nose. Orange, mango, peaches, very tropical. Nice. Cloudy, juicy dark orange color. Thin, juicy flavor. Nice fruitiness, but the malt richness and body suffer a bit too much from the low abv. A bit thin. Tasty, though, for such a low alcohol ipa.
