Handpump at Beer Republic. Pale golden blond colour, small creamy beige head. Aroma yeasty, creamy, bit apricot, peach, touch of citrus, bit floral. Taste not as exciting, but still nice. Touch of orange and fruit. Bit wheat malt. Slight bitterness. Very smooth in mouth. Creamy in texture. Nice if a little unspectacular. Re-rate at Minoh brewery from the bottle. Aroma this time is full on grapefruit hops. Taste is a bit more subtle, nice bitterness, but creamy and grainy too and a bit yeasty. Very easy to drink. Tasted different, but same score.

ładny, chmielowy zapach -zioła, żywica i lekkie owoce tropikalne, da się wyczuć dzikie nuty. głęboki, złoty, lekko zmętniony kolor, piany praktycznie brak. bardzo dużo osadu który nie do końca chce się zbić, więc w piwie pływa pełno farfocli. w smaku bardzo ciekawie, wysoka pełnia, wyczuwalna spora słodowość, ale na tym wszystkim dość spora, lecz krótka goryczka przypominająca piołun i skórki z grapefruita. lekkie owoce i wyraźne dzikie nuty w smaku.

On tap at Craftman. A clear copper gold pour with a nice hoppy floral nose. Medium bodied, a touch watery but decent mouthfeel. The taste is spicy wheat, touch of pine, floral hops - very tasty.

Draught at Edobori. Obviously a different beer to the one in 2011, so I added it anew. Deep. dark gold with a fine head. A bit cloudy. Yeasty Belgian nose, citrus hops, biscuity malt. Nice, sweet Belgian malt flavor, lemon, orange, good bitter european hops. Very nice. Slightly earthy and funky.

hazy light amber golden color. Big funky Belgian yeast and hoppy nose. Like a Belgian pale ale. Slightly tart, light body, lots of hops. Moderately biter slightly watery mouth. Dry bitter funky yeast finish. Wow. Fantastic Belgian pale ale. Really impressive but body coulda been tighter. Still solid.

Draught at Beer Belly. Made to help revive the beer economy after the earthquake, and get people to make it “bloom.” Said to be “not quite an IPA” but I think that’s exactly what it is. Very cloudy dark gold to tan with a low, thick head. Nicely fragrant citrus American hop aroma. Creamy honey malt flavor with grass, pine, citrus hops and huge bitterness that burns forever. Creamy honey in the finish as well, but it isn’t very sweet at all. There is some peach and grape as well as grainy pilsner malts. Body is creamy and smooth. Really nice stuff.
