350ml from Garden, Jiyugaoka. Lightly cloudy amber pour, beige foam, quite foamy actually. Malty nose, sweetish with a toich of hoo character. Rustic. Tastes malty, black rye bread with sone rye spices. Lingering bitterness closer to the finish. Pretty basic but not bad.

350ml can @ Tokyo. Pours deep reddish with a small head. Aroma of grainy malts, earthy notes and berries. Taste is grainy, earthy and slightly sweetish with some hints of berries and toffee. Finish is earthy and grainy malty with some toffee and berries. Sweet and grainy English pale ale.

Can from a convenient store. They call this an APA but there is no way it is. Glowing brown-orange, cloudy, with a medium head. Pretty but the wrong color for the supposed style. Nose is pine, caramel, chocolate. It maybe should be an American brown ale. Caramel malt flavor, creamy, strong bitterness, resins. Well made beer, but very old school and what are they thinking calling this a pale ale?
