Can. Clear amber with a white head. Very shy aroma of pine, boiled citrus, caramel. Bolder taste is along those lines with lots of pine and strong bitterness. A weak, not very good, old fashioned US-style IPA.

Can picked up from Meny 19/05/2022 - clear golden pour with a white head. Sweet malty and citrus fruity, notes of pine needles, herbal and grassy hops, caramel malty backbone, bitter hoppy finish. Pretty basic affair.

350ml can (6% ABV) at my daughters in Laguna Hills on 29th January 2022. Pours an almost clear amber, the head a beige affair. Hoppy front to the brew, some bitterness within it's resinous aroma and taste. The malts kick in and there is a slight caramel sweetness below the surface, but the hops control the nose and flavours.

H Mart near Fairfax: pours copper with an off white head. Aroma is some citrus, plus earthy malts and pine. Taste is lightly bitter, quite malty. Old school, but not in the best way.

Pours an amber from a can. Bit of a nondescript piney aroma and flavor, a little sweet. Frankly a nice change from the inundation of NEIPAs going on. Good beer.

Can from Seijo Ishii. Clear golden with a white head. Aroma of hops, citrus and some caramel. The same in the taste. The finish was quite bitter.

Can from the Davis Food Co-op. Pours orange gold with a foamy white head. Aroma actually smells like caramel - like the candy. Not quite medium body. There's a malt/citrus flavor that starts rather clean, but then the caramel comes out in a non-malt way and the finish is somewhat flavorless bitterness. À chacun son goût.

On tap at NRT Airport. Pours clear dark golden with a small off-white head, light lacing. Fruity, mild butter, sharp citrus, mild bitterness. Decent.

Can from Seijo Ishii. Aroma is a bit weird. Kind of watery, but with some hoppiness in there. Taste is slightly hoppy, bit of pine, caramel maltiness, watery feeling again. Finish is bitter, but not in a particularly nice way. Bit astringent. The body really lets it down. Oh, and the lack of flavour. Apart from that it's just great. I'll stick with Captain Crow!

Crisp golden coloured body with a thinnish white head that only shows up at about an inch in height. Aroma of hay, grass, light citrus, an astringent malt and yeast characteristic, some light bread and a dose of grapefruit and lager biscuity grainy qualities that are a bit strong. Light-bodied; Strong dose of pale malt, lager yeast, bread, light grain and a dose of very bitter grapefruit and kumquat that shows much more of a lager than an ale, and the malt hits like a biscuit instead of anything pungent - this is dry throughout and not showing much character or depth at all - another sign of a lager. Aftertaste shows the dry and biting characteristics without any sweetness, depth or complexity - pretty boring and very dry throughout without much hop bitterness at all. Overall, a decent, at best, beer that tastes more like an [india pale] lager than an IPA and shows too much biscuity and dryness and not enough complexity and deep flavours, especially on the malt perspective. I sampled this 350 mL can, purchased a few minutes ago from World Liqour Mart in Daimon, Tokyo, Japan on 04-August-2019 for JPY288 sampled in my hotel room here in Tokyo, Japan on 04-August-2019.
