Bottle ordered straight from the brewery. A bright brassy pour with minimal foam it has a big hop bouquet featuring juicy apricots and other fruits hops that kind of scream American Wheat Ale. The taste is very hop forward, a bit earthy and has a soft round carbonation. Great aroma, fairly average taste but refreshing for summer.

Bottle from Deguichiya. Pours a hazy orange gold with light grassy aromas, cat piss and white grapefruit. Taste is more of the same with some light passion fruit and lemon. Quite bitter on the finish. Refreshing on a muggy night here in Tokyo. --- Beer merged from original tick of Ah! Soukai!! Wheat Ale on 14 Jul 2016 at 08:59 - Score: 7.

Tap at Sapporo Craft Beer Forest. A new version of their wheat ale. Cloudy gold with a low, fine head. Nose of grapefruit, wheat, a touch of piss, very juicy fruit. Crisp and juicy flavor. Lovely light tropical fruit and lots of citrus. Crackery malt. Excellent.
