Beautiful red colour, medium bodied ale. Fine bitterness and refreshing scent of citrus from hops. 2018 New York International Beer Competition GOLD AWARD.

350ml can from a department store in Fukuoka. Reddish brown, very moderate hop aroma/flavor. Instead the well known red caramel flavor carries it. Bit of a strange mixed aftertaste, almost nutty and almost fruity but neither of them comes through clearly. Pretty tasty overall.

12 oz bottle (6% ABV) into a La Chouffe tulip (twice) on 12th Dec 2017 in Laguna Niguel while staying with my daughter and her husband. Deep, dark red body, misty look, wispy head. Half semi-sweet Irish Red, half semi-sour Flemish Red. Liked it.

330ml bottle at local sushi place in Bethesda MD. Poured a clear red color with a small, foamy white head. Aroma was sweet malts - biscuits, light floral orange notes. Flavor was sweet malts. Sweet character, but not overly heavy, making it a decent beer to have at dinner.

Bottle at Takumi Craft Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy reddish brown with a thin broken off white head. The aroma is metallic hop, light red berry fruit. The flavour is moderate bitter with a light crisp watery grainy biscuit malt, fruity, metallic hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.
