Just released, so super bloody fresh. Great hazy wheat IPA, using cashmere hops which I'm not sure I'm familiar with. Not yr standard NEIPA.

Uchuu Shooting Star Hazy ipa 7% Hazy honey gold with a dense creamy head of foam and an aroma of guava and prickly pear. It’s got nice juicy flavor but isn’t silky in body so comes off a little thin for the style. Other than that they’re making some really solid NEIPAs that command high prices.

Turbid white golden color. Over attenuated, very dry nose with orange juice and mangoes. Astringent over dry mouth, slightly boozy. Good hop character. But Really off from what uchu can do. Not a disaster but pass

Tap at Before 9. Thick hazy gold, flat. Nose is grapefruit, lemon, wheat. Lemony, grapefruit flavor, but too funk. flat flavor, probably too old, a bit finky and lame. Not impressing me.

Tap at the Watering Hole, Tokyo. Poured a murky straw colour with little life. The aroma is light citrus, stone fruits, light hop. The flavour is moderate sweet light bitter, with a fresh, crisp, grainy, light tart orange citrus, chalky hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average to soft carbonation.
