No idea if this is anew version, or just out of retirement. Listed at Nihonbashi as Yabai IPA (from Ushi Tora). Pours a clear amber yellow color with a medium white head. A nice sweet toast nose. Citrus, some sweeter tropical notes, a bit of light mango. Very nice.

Hazy tan. Thin head. Aroma is pretty hoppy, passion fruit, pear, overripe peach. Has a fair bit of bitterness, citrus, a nice old school IPA. Malts are pale, biscuity.

Tap at Vector Factory. Deep golden color, clear, low, fine head. Deep malt flavor, rich, nice fruit, tropical, peaches. rich malt flavor, really nice stone fruits. Very bitter. Full, nice body, not too sweet or syrupy. Good peaches and apricot. Like it.

Tap at Oedo Beer Fest. Huge iyokan, mikan and grapefruit forward nose. A tad boozy on the nose as well. Light bodied and easy drinking for the abv. Average carbonation with no head. Slight warming finish but a citrus bomb. Well-done IPA. --- Beer merged from original tick of Uetake #080 Yabai IPA on 02 May 2016 at 18:54 - Score: 7. Original review text: Punchy fruity IPA.
