Another in the really very good Shiga akihen beers at a reasonable price I think this was about 500¥ Shiga Kogen Take me Skiing IPA 6.5% Matte gold which in some lights looked kind of dull and listless but had an impressively thick head of foam and left generous lacing behind. The aroma is very fragrant, midway between juicy and west coast with notes of orange julep, mango and dankness. Full bodied with a semi-slick mouthfeel. It has a bit of heat to it and the taste is quite bitter, closer to your classic west coast ipa. As usual a solid beer from Shiga Kogen.
