New Jigokudani IPA

Draft at Gremlin. Pours a hazy orange gold with a finger of white foam that dissipates. Orange marmalade and mango dominate the nose with some light zest and pine as it warms. Smooth and medium to low carbonation on the palate. Good citrus fruit notes with more mango and peach as it warms. Some pine on the finish.

Tap at Komachi. Very hazy, muddy orange-gold with a low, fine head. Nose is mango, oranges, pepper. Wheaty and sweet, somewhat heavy, lots of mango and orange and some coconut. Nice prickly finish. Not back but a bit sweet.

Tap @ Beer Boy, Nakameguro. Hazy orange, white and quite thick haze there, some foam on the top, looking super creamy overall. Grassy hops in the nose, bubblegum and gummy bears also. Overripe mango. Tastes creamy, medium hop bitterness, feeling quite dank and a bit aggressive. Bubblegum also in the flavour, somewhat cloying sweetness that is not completely overdone by hops (which are a bit harsh but not balancing the sweetness somehow). Some biscuity malt and bitter linger in the finish. Good stuff, worth searching out.
