Bottle at Shinshu Sake Mura. Pale blond colour, big white creamy bubbly head. Aroma is lemon, wheat, slightly herbal, grassy, pretty nice. Taste is similar, wheaty, lemon, grapefruit, strong hop presence. Belgian wit ipa cross? Initial citrus hop, finish is slightly prickly, more grainy, but still bitter. Pretty nice. Very refreshing.

Courtesy of KyottoLefty. 33 cl. bottle sampled @ decadent symmetry tasting. Cool drawing on to bottle (dragon). Pours slightly hazy golden with little white head. Smells of exotic fruity hops, slight caramel, citrus, touch1 malt & wheat, hint pine apple. Taste sweet wheat, bitter herbs, bitter sweet, hint corn flakes, touch hops, hint spices, slight straw aka interesting in taste but touch less impressive yeast. Hazy yeast body. Agreeable & interesting but not the best.

Bottle at CBB. Deep gold. Funky, hoppy wheat nose, Nelson hops, citrus. Dry and hoppy, Nelson and its familiar catpiss flavor. Nice and drinkable, though not remarkable. Not clear how this beer relates to ISS and Even Prime. They are all somewhat similar. Good for the lightness.
