On tap at Craft Beer Bar iBrew - Ginza, pours a clear pale copper golden with a medium off-white head. Aroma brings out a robust earthy hop character, with gentle citrus and pine. Flavour is much the same, with citrusy hops, some spicy pine needles, and light sweet biscuity malt. A bit rough but has an interestingly spicy hop character. Okay.

16th March 2020, Shrewsbury monthly beer exchange in Chez Sophie. Cheers Mat for hosting and bringing this 330ml bottle: BB 19th May 2020. Large off-white head on a misty amber body, piney nose and taste with a decent malty base for balance, the resinous hops trying to tip the balance at all times though!

330ml bottle @ the beer tasting at the end of the world, Chez Sophie, March '20. Brought by me. Hazed amber appearance, off white head. Big pine, resin, excellent old style West Coast DIPA. Very good and unexpected.

Bottle at home from Tokyu Food Show. Dark amber/light brown colour, bit cloudy, small bubbly golden head. Aroma is bit sweet, lots of malt, maybe almost toffee, and some sugar, but with plenty of grassy hops in there too. Taste is initally bitter but rounds off into sweet maltiness which then fades with a touch of citrus. Really not what I was expecting, and very welcome. Feels quite well rounded and smooth in the mouth, and the alcohol is well hidden. Really like it.

330ml bottle from Yamaoke, Kyoto. Pours dark reddish orange with a large foamy head. Aroma of strawberries, earthy notes, caramely malts, toffee, pine and resin. Taste is sweet, earthy and stuffy with loads of strawberries, some toffee, pine, caramel and resin. Finish is sweet, sticky and syrupy with some strawberires, caramely malts, bitter grassy hops and herbal notes. Unbalanced, too much strawberry notes here.

On tap. Pours a bright orange color with a small white head. A nice big bready citrus nose. The flavor is caramel, sweet citrus, a bit of resin, actually pretty sweet. Solid IIPA.
