Bottle from the brewery. Amber-orange, hazy, with a nice head. Caramel, butterscotch, orange, toffee in the nose. Diacetyl. Sweet flavor, lemon or yuzu, butterscotch. On the right tract but the diacetyl is overwhelming.

Iwami Bakushu American Pale Ale 5.5% The bottle’s branding and label looks great.
A new brewery from Shimane with an orange brown color and a thick buttery rich butterscotch diacetyl aroma. Smells off.
Initially you get crackery malts and bitting citrusy hops but then overwhelmed by the diacetyl. You see where they were going and if they get rid of that diacetyl it’ll be pretty good but as it stands it is a fail.
