On tap at Watering Hole spring 2014. Hazy gold with small off-white head. Big fruity and floral hops on the nose: passion fruit, papaya, yuzu and some grain as well. Bitter on the palate. As it comes to room temperature some wheat notes comes out along with arugula and peppercorn. Nice long bitter finish.

330 ml bottle from Tanakaya@ Mejiro. This one is a collaboration brew with Evil Twin Brewing, made with traditional Japanese citric fruits such as yuzu, kabosu and sudachi. Sounds intriguing. Pours a bit hazy, pale yellow. Aroma is actually quite citric, as I could already guess, having also some skunky side, probably from hops. Taste has lemon peels, yuzu coming through with tongue-piercing acidity and bitterness. There is actually enough malt body to balance it out, so it doesn’t feel too one sided, only a bit - and it is acidic and bitter for sure. Very citric IPA, quite a Japanese take on the style. Would like to see experiments like this more often.
