Draught at Eni-bru, Osaka. Muddy pale orange. Orangey hoppy nose. Sweetish and lively, vaguely fruity. Slender and sparkling, like champagne. yeasty, but not overly so. Hops bring seville orange marmelade that grows into a pleasnt late bitteralmond finish. Perfectly executed - complex and very drinkable. Love it!

A Belgian IPA. I have had a few. I love Swan Lake’s IPA. This on the other hand is not as good as their IPA or other Belgian IPAs. In fact, I found this was a cross triple and IPA that went no where fast. Lots of yeast, some hops forsure with a touch of citrus, but not really balanced and being pulled into too many directions the beer was lost on me. If it is lost on me, I can’t imagine the average consumer could make heads of tails. Extra points for trying something interesting, but not executed well.
