Tap at Gremlin. Ultra fruity aroma, loads of orange, hints of tropical, lightly earthy. Taste is good too, fruity again, light yeastiness, finish is fruit and light bitterness. Orange lemon and pineapple. Minerals. Touch of tropical. Good stuff

355ml bottle from Osake, Tokyo. Pours orange with a small head. Aroma of grassy hops, earthy notes, grainy malts and caramel. Taste is sweetish, earthy and grainy malty with some harsh hoppy notes,hints of grass, hay, citrus and berries. Finish is sweetish, grainy and harsh grassy hoppy with some bitterness, earthiness and caramely malts, hints of hay and berries. Decent, but quite harsh hop profile here.

Tap at CBM. Lots of big fresh, dank hops on the nose with orange in the background. Well-balanced on the palate with a touch of honey and caramel. More orange. Light bitter finish. Easy-drinking and good stuff. --- Beer merged from original tick of Shiga Kogen Pale Ale Harvest Brew on 27 Sep 2015 at 23:34 - Score: 7

Pours nice orange copper, just a bit of white foam. Aroma is full on fresh hops, also a bit of hop skunk but that’s part of the game. Herbal and some bready malts are noticeable from underneath. Drinks easy, smooth, malty body is well balanced with wet hops, not too harsh but more fragrant and recognisably fresh, you can imagine the esters still covering the hop cones as they are added into the kettle. Quite well balanced and beautifully drinkable, I am finding myself liking this maybe even better than I liked their harvest IPA (ended up with a same rating though).

Tap at Bungalow. Shiga harvest brew pale ale An orange gold with a deep fruity aroma, fairly full body and well balanced malt and hop flavor. Take the regular pale ale and ramp it up a bit. 3.5
