6% abv version at Ushitora. BIg grapefruit and with aromas of resin, pine and marmalade. Nice bitterness on the palate with good malt sweetness to balance. Finish is bitter. Almost IPA like. --- Beer merged from original tick of Captain Kid Extra Pale Ale on 06 Aug 2015 at 19:39 - Score: 7

I picked this up at Nomono in Akihabara station a great little shop for Jaoanese craft beers. This Pale is a collaboration between Oh! La! Ho! & Transporter that Japanese beer magazine. Captain Kid pours a nice mellow yellow gold with a thin fizzy head that disappears fast. A great hoppy bouquet of resin, pine & herbal notes. The beer has a spiky sharp mouthfeel from the carbonation on a medium body. A really resinous & piney flavor profile makes it seem more IPA than APA as does the bitter aftertaste but overall a good beer for hopheads.
