Tap at Bankan. Lovely citrus forward nose. Iyokan and pithy tangerine notes. Well-balanced on the palate with a light body for 5.5 percent. Light tropical and bitter finish. Nice session IPA. --- Beer merged from original tick of Uetake #099 Sky Rocket Session Ale on 17 Jul 2016 at 16:59 - Score: 7. Original review text: Lively citrus-forward nose.

Poured from the tap at Pub Karr (Kyoto). Clear golden yellow with minimal white head. Mild tropical hops, slight skunk, seems a little strong for a session, but tasty nonetheless.

On tap at Bungalow. Ushi-Tora #99 Skyrocket Session IPA 55 IBU 5.6% An insanely clear gold with a filmy white head and a decent citrus & crackery malts. Kind of high ABV for a session ipa, I’d say it’s more of a pale ale. Green bitter pine flavor with some malt sweetness and very mild fruit notes in the aftertaste.

Tap at Sapporo Craft Beer Forest. Nose of citrus hops and crackery malt. Crisp malt flavor, lemon. Somewhat oily palate. Typical dry Ushitora finish. Average.
