Tap at Gar Eden. Light golden colour, small white head. Aroma is bit of orange, small hoppiness, bit grainy. Taste similar, not overly sweet, yeasty, bit fruity, wheat. Citrus at finish. Alright but not so exciting. Second time at Gremlin in 2016. Much nicer! Refreshing, initial malt and citrus bitterness, finish is nice and orangey. Aroma has lots of orange. Good stuff. Nice summer stuff.

Very pale golden color. Fairly tart, fruity and dry nose. The amanatsu (type of summer orange) is perfectly integrated and provides just The right amount of tartness. Very well balanced. Very nice

Tap at CBM Koenji. Lighty hazy gold color with a finger of foam that dissipates fairly quickly. Light zesty orange nose with some light orange blossom floral notes. Medium body with more orange and a bit of lime. Clean, zesty and crisp on the finish.

Poured from the tap at Hangout (Hiroshima). Hazy, light golden yellow with white head. Dominant citrus orange aroma. Juicy orange taste dissipates quickly to a dry floral finish. More of a fruit beer in my opinion.
