Can, bb 1/26. Very clear pale gold, white head. Aroma of lemon - slightly cleaning product-like - slightly toasted white bread, gentle herbs. Pretty much how it tastes - moderately rich with citrus and some herbs before a genuinely bitter finish. A Japanese macro that's not tentative! And it's pretty good too.

Can. Nice herbal hop nose, some citrus, something like Sorachi Ace or Sabro in there too, a bit of coconut. Slightly dirty. Flavor is rich, strong malt and grains with big hops. There is hop flavor, grassy, herbal, coconut, citrus, and a huge, stark bitterness that actually does well to balance the 6% abv and big malt. Bitter finish lasts a long time. This is far more interesting than I expected. Kind of weird, but not bad.
