350ml can. Cloudy, orange, dark golden to amber colour with average to huge, frothy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Floral and fruity hoppy aroma, unspecific fruitiness, a touch of plum maybe, wheaty malty background. Taste is sweet-ish, wheaty malty, fruity and minimally floral hoppy, unspecific fruitiness, mild bitterness. Creamy-watery texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously minimally dry palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation. Fairly exotic, drinkable - quite nice.

Bottle, courtesy of Riley, bb 2024/08/JI, so this could be 6-12 months old
Hazy pale blond colour; medium sized, fluffy head. The aroma if citrusy, and flowery (jasmin…), more flowery than the local IPAs I'm used to (7+). Dry mouthfeel; the base seems leaning towards some wheat and rice profile; there's a big yeast component, quite spicy, some not very traditional, but clean Belgian strain (7-); moderate bitterness, with citrus peel character from the hops.
Pleasant.

A hazed golden ipa with a thin creamy lacing white head. In aroma, sweet fruity biscuit malt with light fruity esters, light cloves, resinous hops, pleasant. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity biscuit malt with light Belgian notes, light cereals, pleasant and smooth. On tap at Taps Beer Bar.

Bottle at Takumi, Lot 10, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a murky medium amber colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is toffee caramel malt, light citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a crisp, malt, light sweet toffee, light citrus, light woody hop bitter palate. Not unpleasant.

350ml can from Total Wines, Laguna Hills and drank at my daughters on 23rd July 2023. Hazy orange body, floaters/sediment settling, weak white head. Not too sure where the Belgian IPA style comes from, but this is bitter with a mild citrus leaning, mild malty base for a little balance. It's fine.

IPA po Japonsku. Piana spora skrecona niczym bita smietana na goracej czekoladzie Wawela...na Wawelu podanej oczywiscie. Trwala niczym ziejacy ogniem Smok Wawelski ..tuz obok. Metne, niemal blotniste, mocno goryczkowqe, oldschoolowe, gorycz zalepia gardlo niczym turecka guma balonowa turbo. Doskonala azjatycka jakosc

Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours orange tinged gold with a persisting white head. Aroma is floral/fruit with a yeasty accompaniment. Med body. Flavor? I'd have pegged this as Belgian in a blind taste. Definite yeast/spice - though not banana/clove - just in that direction. Dryish. Bitterish. Very, very nice flavor.
