Tap at Server Land. Lots of hops, big bitterness, citrus, and resin, grapefruit. Not so much maltiness, but asserts itself a bit more further down with a bit of sweetness. Good stuff though. Second time really got the maltiness, more points. Rerate in Dec 2014 at CBM Koenji. Wow. Cocoa powder, spice, citrus hops. Bloody hell, tasted great.

Tap at Takanoya. Deep reddish brown, green piney hoppy aroma. While the taste is caramel and biscuit, there's a decent bitter green hoppiness. A solid beer but less complex than I expected.

Tap @ BeerFes Yokohama, September 17th, 2017. Pours brown, some beige foam. Doesn't stay for long. Nose is light caramel, somehow lactic, light candy sweetness. Taste is nicely light and hoppy. Roast malt, burnt bread, some hoppy sweetness there and herbal linger. This one grows on me, for that nondescript nose it is actually a very nice beer that I'd like to have a pint of.

Medium brown color. Lost of toasted malt, barley tea, somewhat fruity modest bitterness. Very interesting. Slightly heavy body. Enjoyable.

Draught at the Tanabata Beer Festival 2013. Pretty dark brown color with a low head. Caramel, chocolate, grass nose. Nice bitter hops following rich caramel malt. Maybe even a bit too bitter, but pretty nice stuff.
