Can. Deep reddish-brown with a medium to tall tan head. Nose is resiny hops, citrus, caramel, nuts, Decent. Nutty, toasty malt flavor, resins, pine, grapefruit, apple, a bit of tropical bubble gum. Caramel malt too. Crisp and light enough, bitter, resiny finish. A decent American Amber, or, Red IPA...

This was a random Seijo Ishii find for about 400¥. I’m not sure but I think it’s to mark the start of 2024, the Year of the Dragon. Echigo Red Dragon IPA 5.5% Reddish amber color with a fantastic rocky dense beige foam. Piney caramel aroma, medium bodied and quite drinkable though the Neko ippiki was far superior. This is just ok.
