Crisp yellow and golden coloured body with a thinnish, pure white head, only a centimetre or so tall. Aroma of grass, light citrus and very dry herbal hops with a little dose of malt with some crisp yeast present as well. Light-bodied; Sharp malt and grassy flavours with some herbal hops present and very dry grainy notes with a light fresh biscuity malt with noticeable alcohol bites at the end with some astringent and perfumey hop characteristics which are nice and refreshing. Aftertaste is crisp and very balanced with a lot of fresh biscuity malt flavours and quite a bit of dry, grassy hop flavours that show some light bitterness but very noticeably piney and almost resinous character at the end that has a bit more alpha acids. Overall, a balanced and well-structured APA that has fresh malt and hop flavours with a smooth and dry bite of astringency at the end. Nice on a very hot summer day here in Tokyo. I sampled this 350 mL can purchased two days ago at World Liqour Mart in Daimon, Tokyo, Japan on 03-August-2019 for 288JPY sampled two days later here in my hotel room in Tokyo, Japan on 05-August-2019.
