Tap at Cafe de Tete. Nice enough. Light citrus, minerals, initially spritzy but dies quite quickly. First sip was good, but becomes a little bland.

Swan Lake Session IPA 4.5% Bottle from the brewery. A lightly opaque gold with a thick head of foam which dissipated fast but left tons of lacing behind. It has a great hoppy citrus aroma. Light bodied with a crisp light crackery malt and floral/fruity hop profile that compliments it well

Half pint at 82 Ale House in Shinagawa. Clear gold-plated yellow with a slight eggshell head. Nice aroma of green apples and pine needles. Lots of carbonation, very refreshing. Very sessionable. Crisp and dry finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of Swan Lake & 82 Original Session IPA on 16 Feb 2016 at 14:45

light golden cloudy color. Slightly astringent lightly hopped nose. The mouth is very light, too lightly hopped and astringent and lack character. Certainly not bad but just plain boring.
