Tap at CBM Jinbocho. Light amber colour with golden head. Aroma is full on resinous hops, sweet caramelly malt, bit of stink. Taste is nice, more mellow than smell suggests. Sweet and malty with just a hint of bitter and spiky hops. Very easy to drink. Can feel the booze but it is not in your face. Nice.

Draught at Tadg’s. Cloudy orange color with some bubbles. Citrus, stone fruits, peaches in the nose. Sweet, malty, fruity flavor. Esters, tropical fruits, lots of peach. Strong bitterness as well. Very tasty. This keg was super flat though, and that really hurt it over all. Palate was rather oily.

On tap at Tadg’s in Kyoto. It poured a nice orange gold but had almost no head and very little carbonation which was a shame. The aroma was a good hoppy mix of pine, citrus & a mild funk. The flavor was quite good and it is a decent IPA. If it had been more carbonated it would have been in the 3.5-4 range for sure.
