24/10/2024. Bottle from Lopia Kyoto Yodobashi Supermarket. Pours clear amber straw gold with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma is malty, chalky, caramel, hoppy, orange, herb, yeast. Moderate sweetness, medium plus bitterness. Moderate body, oily, average to soft carbonation. Developing slightly unpleasant bitter finish. Great bridge label, okay beer.

Bottle from Tanakaya. Amber golden colour with big white bubbly head which soon collapses in the middle. Aroma is very fruity, strawberry, lemon, quite sweet but also with a fair bit of hoppy bitterness. Quite malty too. Smells a bit cakey/doughy. Taste is satisfyingly bitter but not overly so. Very fruity, more grapefruity this time. Quite a punch for only 6%. Something herbal in there too. Pretty nice all in all.

330ml bottle from trade with jinroh. Many thanks! Pours hazy amber with floaters, big foamy white head. Aroma is light orange, skunky hops. Taste is grainy, skunky, oxidisation.. lacks hop clarity, off-flavours. Not great.

Great Japan Beer Fest in Yokohama 2014. Nice golden orange color with a modest eggshell head. Resiny nose with aromas of grapefruit and citrus present. A little tart on the palate at first, then a bitter wave rolls in. Not much malt taste or balance for that matter. Slightly astringent finish.

330 ml bottle. Pours nice golden amber, bit hazy, nice foam. Aroma has some fresh cut grass, bit of fresh baked bread, green leaves. Taste is quite herbal, citrusy and hoppy, even somewhat unbalanced as there are lots of hops for a relatively weak body. Closing to a session IPA or just nice and hoppy pale ale rather than usual IPA. Bit skunky hops, lingering bitterness. Still a good and refreshing beer.
