Tap at Ant n Bee. Finally got it!! Light golden colour, small white head. Aroma is very nice, citrus and pine. Taste is great. Light citrus bittrtrness, lemon and lime, crackery malt, some minerals. Finish is satisfyingly bitter but not overly so. Crisp and refreshing, yet quite soft too. Fruitiness keeps changing, pineapple, grapefruit, orange. Great drop.

cherries and apricots on the nose. Simple nice balance, with long bitter finish. A shadow of what it once was apparently.

On tap at cbm Koenji. Clear golden color with a nice soapy white head that lasts. Great citrus bouquet on the nose with orange, grapefruit and iyokan with some pine and resin too. Active carbonation. Slightly watery mouthfeel. Citrus pith bitter with some sweet orange (mikan maybe?). Bitter finish that lingers. Really nice first beer.

On tap at Kyoto Brewing Co.’s launch party. A cloudy straw gold with a filmy white head. It has a great fruity hop bouquet with a lovely soft rounded mouthfeel. Wonderfully complex taste of zesty grapefruit, prickly pine and pithy citrus. Really great first batch. I love the body on it, it’s easy drinking for 6% - dangerously so.

Tap at Tadg’s. Cloudy orange gold with a low, fine head. Nose if grapefruit, oranges, and a bit of tropical fruit, pineapple, crackers and bread. A touch of grass too. Juicy, hoppy flavor, with nicely bready malts to give backbone but no where near overly sweet. Dry finish without huge bitterness. Amazingly drinkable. Well done first release.
