Bottle sample at a tasting at the Beer & Beyond shop. Thanks Ariel. Hazy yellowish golden. Aroma of orange peels, a bit of graininess and light hoppy notes. Sweetish and spicy flavor with orange peels, light citric hops notes and a finish with a bit of bitterness. Medium-bodied.

At Asahiya, bottle the label says IPA, 6.2%. It’s a nice gold orange pour with a beige head with great staying power. Nice sweet candy like flavor with a bitter pine finish. Ah the sweetness comes from orange peels! I wonder what the mix of hops is on this? Nice but not overly complex, a good IPA for summer.

Light amber color. Smells like daidai, which is not very distinguishable. Perhaps a whiff of diacetyl. The hops kinda get blocked out. Big daidai flavors in the mouth, slightly buttery. Moderately aggressive bitterness. A bit astringent. Not exactly my cup.
