Dont know if this is a rebrand of another IPA, but I had this at Kyushu Festival in Yoyogi Park in Oct 2018 and asked they said it is just called Hideji IPA, but also people serving the beer didn't know a lot about the brand either. slightly hazy golden color. Nice floral hoppy nose with some grapefruit notes, slightly sweet. Low carbonation, nice mouth feel. Slightly sweet malty base with moderately aggressive bitterness. Very drinkable, but not sure world class by any stretch but a definite crowd pleaser
