Panda at home, thanks to Graham Grumbo, 31/05/2025.
Clear golden with a lasting off white head.
Nose is orange zest, grass, straw, toasted grains, airy malt base.
Taste comprises grass, herb, bitter citric nip, hay bale.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with light astringent bitterness.
So so affair ... twiggy and pedestrian in its outlook.

Can from Yutaka London, as Autumn IPA on the English import sticker. It pours clear pale orange with a small fluffy white cap. The aroma is fairly muted, oily, sappy, resin, fragrant florals, tangy grapefruit and lemonade. The taste is firmly dry, bitter, sappy, resin, fragrant, floral, leafy, peppery spice, grapefruit, damp earth and slightly soapy vibes with a drying finish. Average body and carbonation. Soapiness lingers, which isn't great. Fair overall.

26/4/2025. Can bought from Yutaka Shop online. Sticker in English on the can says Autumn IPA. Pours clear golden with a small frothy white head. Aroma is grainy, citrus, sweet malts, minerals, caramel, bready, resin, chewy hops. Medium sweetness, medium plus bitterness. Moderate body, oily, average carbonation. Long bitter finish. Old school elements. Preferred the taste to the aroma.

Can bought at Tanakaya. Golden orange colour with small white creamy head. Aroma is hops, lots of them. Cat pee, grapefruit, lots of spikiness too. Taste is nice and malty, bit of biscuit and a bitter finish. Pure grapefruit at the end, but other fruitiness in there too, lemon. Nice and drinkable. My favourite Oh La Ho so far.

Can from the brewery, drank from the can, inside a capsule hotel. Nose is quite malty, some malt dust there, plus this particular grassy wet hop feel, some grapefruit peels. Somehow feels also bready. Tastes medium bodied, nice mouth-filling grassy bitterness, grapefruit juice and grapefruit flesh. Bit stuffy and bready but that could be even a good thing. Grassy citric-bitter linger continues for a while. Fresh and good, Cascade's grapefruit comes through nicely.

Can from Tanakaya. Drank straight from the can. Good grassy and piney hop aromas with some light grapefruit. Great carbonation with a sticky mouthfeel, but not overly sweet. Well-balanced IPA with a nice bitter finish. Very good.

Draught at the Keyaki Hiroba Autumn Festival 2012. Spicy Cascade hop nose, dry, earthy, a bit of citrus. Light malt, some bread and cereal. Great hoppy flavor, fresh and green, wonderful. Toast, grass, hay, citrus. Excellent wet-hopped IPA
