Another why do I bother beer? Kizakura Lucky Rabbit Pale Ale 5% Copper colored with a thick dirty white head of foam and mild citrusy hop bouquet. Medium bodied with an earthy pine and citrus bitterness. The aftertaste is quite a bit too bitter and unbalanced but the initial is sweeter than many others in the series. If you look at the whole lucky series as them disking it in then in a few more years it’ll get from ok/meh to good/solid…

Can from Yamaya. They certainly have a long list of these Lucky beers. Clear, deep golden with a tall, fine head. Somewhat meaty malt nose--claims to be an umami pale ale and that does come through a bit in the aroma. Rather muted citrus hops with a bit of piny resin too. Flavor is more resinous, medium malt sweetness, orange and grapefruit notes, very bitter finish. Medium body. It has rice in it and I suppose that lightens it a bit. Not bad, but a little too bitter and it's pretty unoriginal, like most of the rest in this series.
