Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity malty hoppy citrus aroma with grassy hints. Sweetish malty hoppy bitter piney grassy citrus flavor. Has a fruity malty hoppy bitter finish.

Draught at Eni-bru, Osaka. Hazy amber. Grapefruit and lychee upfront. Medium bodied with dense, rounded mouthfeel. Intensely hoppy, American style with a caramelly backdrop. Hops fde out somewhat towards a bitter finish, but remains aromatic and intense. A good IPA!

Dark amber color. Hops are distinctively English with apples and oranges everywhere, but brash bitterness is distinctly American. More full bodied and life than the regular IPA.

Draught at Tadg’s. A bit of caramel backs this earthy hop fest. Some citrus, but mostly earthy, somewhat dirty, and very bitter hops. A solid, clean, man’s drink. Very interesting and great balance.

Pours a copper color with a smallish light tan head. Aroma is fresh fruit, citrus hops(orange mainly), and sweet malts. Hops? In a Japanese IPA? Finally! They’re not as powerful as you’d get in an American IPA, but up to this point I’ve been sorely dissapointed with the sweetness of Japan’s IPAs. This has a nice hop biterness to it right from the start. Sweet, citrus fruits flow into floral and malt. Finshes with a decent dry hop bite. Could still use more hops, but this is a step in the right direction.
