Draft at Ban K Sapporo Craft Beer Forrest Summer 2014. Big citrus aromas with grapefruit really standing out. Very bitter on the palate. Medium body. Really strong bitter finish, but overall refreshing. --- Beer merged from original tick of North Island Summer Crystal Ale on 03 Feb 2016 at 14:40

5.5% North Island on tap at Hamamatsu Devil Craft. Crystal clear gold, filmy white head. It has a really nice floral, tropical fruit bouquet. Medium bodied with a sandy mouthfeel of tongue scraping bitterness. The taste is a bitter pine bark, then floral and earthy hop notes. It is listed as an American Wheat Ale. I like the nose more than the taste as it is too bitter for me. Perfect for hop heads. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
