Kyoto Beer Lab Shakadake Mountain IPA 7.3% 40 IBU Tap at the Tower Sando Beer Festa, murky brassy haze with eggshell white foam and a big juicy aroma. Silky body that verges on velvety - quite a full mouthfeel. Very strong bitter citrus up front mixed in with tropical fruits and green herbs. More bitter than expected. Pretty good but that hoppiness is fairly full on.

Tap at KBL. Bright hop nose, grapefruit, orange, mango. Hazy, deep gold. Bright, juicy flavor, a bit funky as well. Crisp body. A bit too much kvieky funkiness.
