Small pour on draft at Raku Beer. Slightly hazy golden yellow with off-white head. Aromas of floral and citrus. Tastes of citrus, light honey, floral notes, bitter hops. Medium body with a dry finish.

Tap at Bungalow, Kyoto. 5.7 %. Deep golden-amber color, small steady white head, lace. Aroma is malty with earthy hoppyness with hints of toasty sugar. Medium-bodied. Angry hops. English vibe and sweet brown sugar notes. Kind of unbalanced.

6% bottle from Rakuten, served in a fluted glass. Classic IPA orange-gold pour with a thick head of foam. Fruity, minty aroma with a medium body. It has a bitter flavor with some citrus notes but the malts come off kind of harsh & grainy. The aroma is much nicer than the taste.

Bottled (thanks Kim!). Amber colour, small white head. Aroma is fruity, catpissy and some some slight grassy notes with mild sweetish notes. Flavour is sweet fruits, caramel, some toffee and mild grassy notes. Quite pleasantly balanced.

Medium copper color, slightly orange, low head going right to lace. Strong, fruity hops, tobacco, citrus and grapefruit, with caramel malt. Hops stronger, though balance seems decent. Hoppy, citrus flavor with decent malts, caramel, a touch of tobacco. Very hoppy, bitter finish with pine and grass. A reasonably well-made IPA but not really special. Hops are very good, the malts reasonably complex. Too light, maybe, and lacking malt balance, but likable.

Golden color, peaches, lemon, strawberries and honey in the nose. Well balanced, chewy, bready, peaches in the mouth. Moderately bitter finish. Better than expected based on previous reviews, but not outstanding.

Nice looking IPA, slightly amber orange with a puffy head. Aroma is very muted. Light floral and citrus hops. Flavor is a quick hitter. The sharp floral and herbal hops burst as they impact your taste-buds, but disappear just as quickly. Very one dimensional. I had pretty high hopes for this one which may explain why I’m so disappointed in this average IPA.
