Tap at Keyaki. Nice. Caramel, light hoppiness, bit of resin. Good stuff. Joint favourite of the set.

OK, so I got an IPA that apparently is a 99/100? No IPA is that good. Come now, bitter bastard. Let me put this 100% in the glass. Pours like a decent beer, pale yellow with a big foaming craggy head. Mild clean fresh hop flower perfume aroma. Taste is one big mouth coating bitter brutal butyl rubber chewy inner tube. Yes, a blast in the ass. Heat of the meat divided by the angle of dangle. What else can be said? So bitter it is probably a double IPA? Or ... ..... do I mean impy? Yes, terribly on style nasty fricken nellie, whew. Not sure if I got this at JR's or the kroger in kentucky. Only $1.50 for one of the finest? Heheheh

Bottle at home. Has a clear bronze colour with a small off-white head. Aroma of grapefruit, pine, grass, hay and some caramel and ammonia. Flavour of pine, grass, grapefruit and some caramel. Has a slick mouth feel, medium body and medium to heavy bitterness. Pretty hoppy on the grassy and piney side. Solid.
