Tap at CBM Jinbocho. Light amber colour, white bubbly head. Aroma is b.o. and cat pee hops, bit stinky, quite full on. Taste is bitter, bit skunky. Ok but not very exciting. Not sure about it.

5.5% Bottle from Asahiya. Part of the Masaji Beer Project. Pine, citrus and mild funk aroma. Definitely hopped with c-hops. Smooth bitter bite at the front of the mouth with some sour puckering followed by a caramel malty base. Crisp dry pine finish. Very solid APA.

Draught at Tenma. Pale amber color. Citru nose, oily citrus, bisctuits. Slick oily palate. Earthy citrus flavors, bread. Weird, unpleasant finish. Nice hops but a bit odd and too oily.
