Tap at the brewery. Bit yeasty, some caramel. Taste is alright, similar again? Touch of spice, bit doughy. Alright.

Medium dark amber color. Nice toffee and apricot nose. The mouth is a bit thin and not greatly balanced. Light bitter finish.

Tap at YYG. Kind of underwhelming when cold, but once it sat for about 5 minutes out came a wonderful tropical fruit-forward nose with grapefruit. Medium body with some light caramel notes, but very hop driven beer. For the abv and being a new brewery the palate is well-done. Peppery bitterness on the finish (almost rye-like in a way). Really good and the best of the 4 for me. Really a lighter version of Modern Times Blazing World and Aurora mixed. Very nice beer. --- Beer merged from original tick of Yoyogi Amber Ale on 12 May 2016 at 21:12 - Score: 7. Original review text: Tropical notes, grapefruit. Modern times lite. Great!

Tap at the brewpub. Amber-red with lace. Nose of citrus, light tropical fruits. some caramel, and a touch of butterscotch. Fruity, lightly tropical flavor, a bit earthy. Nice, peppery, bitter finish. Good hops for an amber, reaching for Modern Times. A good start.
