0,33l can from CELEO Kokubunji, enjoyed @ Chuo line straight from the can. Aroma is sweet malts with pine. Flavor is bitter malts, pine, hops. Good.

Can from Seijo Iishi in Tokyo. Golden with a white head. Aroma of citrus, hops and some caramel. The same in the taste. The finish was medium bitter.

Can from Seijo Ishii. Aroma is nice. Citrus and grassy hoppiness. Taste is not as nice, but it's alright. Citrus again, sweet maltiness some minerals. Bit thin, but much much better than the flying ipa. Not as good as Captain Crow still though.

Can at the ryohan in Kanasaki. Picked up in Kyoto. Pours totally clear yellow-gold with a frothy, pure white head. Pithy citrus in the nose, crisp pale malts, lemon rind, pine needles. Light-medium sweet flavour with sturdy piney bitterness, some grassy accents, citrus rind. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with further grassy bitterness, faint astringency, tangerine and lemon peel, grapefruit pith. A very decent IPA.

Pours hazy orange, foam builds up fast when I pour liberally. Aroma is a bit tired - hops are there, not a bad balance but nothing special, really. Taste is again, not bad, has bitterness and malt backbone is showing - but it also feels messy and over-bittered.

35cl can from a supermarket in Yokohama. Pours clear deep golden to amber. Hoppy aroma with pine, citrus, notes of tropical fruits and malt. Medium to moderate sweet with nice hoppy flavours and a fine bitterness. Tasty, refreshing and fairly balanced IPA.

Can (brewed at Echigo apparently and not the brewery where the bottles and tap come from) from Seijoishii. Huge citra bomb nose: mango, grapefruit, papaya and pineapple dominate the nose throughout. Nice medium body with good carbonation throughout. Fairly well-balanced but towards the end of the can the bitterness starts to become more intense. From the can, maybe the best hop nose on a beer outside of Y. Market. Still solid enough and with a little tweaking on the bittering hops could give Captain Crow a run for best can in Japan. Nice effort. --- Beer merged from original tick of Nagahama Roman Nagahama IPA Special on 14 Feb 2016 at 14:04 - Score: 7. Original review text: Guys seriously this is better than expected. Punchy y. Market tropical nose, yes it's a tad too bitter but that's ok. Not bad.

Tap. big around of their house yeast, dry stone fruits, peaches, oranges. Strong bitterness, yeasty. A decent beer, but I don’t see how it is so different from all their other ales.

Nagahama IPA special On tap at the crazily crowded Kyoto Beer Fest 2015. 5.5% a deep Amber gold with a foamy off-white head. The hop bouquet is solid: fruity and lightly floral. Medium bodied with a dry hoppy finish. The taste is a well balanced fruitiness with a crisp dry bitter finish. Good. Kind of saison like. ----Bottle 10/15/2015 ----- Nagahama IPA Special 5.5% Bottle from Liquor Mountain Razkan. It pours a clear brilliant copper with a thick foamy off-white head. It’s got a fruity hop bouquet, some clove like spiciness and some herbacious ness. Flavor: It’s got a hard to pin down spice character that is midway between cinnamon & cloves. You also get decent sweetness from the malts. Med-light bodied with a crisp finish. Alright for about 550 yen.
