On tap at Bungalow. Aqula & North Island Short Summer Session IBA 3.8% 70 IBU I heard it is probably coriander black as a base then the malts are tones down and the hops ramped up. A cola looking pour with ruby highlights. Awesome aroma of hops, smoke and chocolate. A fairly full body for a sub 4% beer, smooth mouthfeel and a bright refreshing dry finish. The taste is smokey cooking chocolate and bright citrus zest. A really fun summer beer that isnβt what youβd expect but delivers refreshment and a lighthearted feeling. Check it out if you see it on tap.

Tap at Sapporo Craft Beer Forest. Nice chocolate nose. roasty, with earthy hops. Light and tasty. Good flavor for the abv, though it could use more citrus hops.
