Tap at MArciero. Amber-orange color, clear, low head. Big citrus nose (they have added yuzu), with some caramel and bready malts. Sweet, strong, citrusy flavor. Some caramel. Not so much lager character, mostly yuzu. Not bad.

Tap at CBM Koenji. Huge, punchy grapefruit, orange and pineapple on the nose. Biscuity malts with juicy hop flavor. Well-balanced, but good bitterness on the palate. Slightly sweet, but not cloying. Bright and fun APA from a brewery that stepped outside it’s comfort zone with this one. Surprisingly good. --- Beer merged from original tick of Arigato Pale Ale on 04 Mar 2016 at 20:42 - Score: 7. Original review text: Take out. Huge grapefruit, orange and pineapple nose. Slightly boozy but brash and aggressive. Moderate bitterness. Bright APA.

Banana, clove and light caramel notes. Some banana bread with raisin comes out as it warms. Body is a little too thin and boozy. Lingering pepper and spiced finish, but not overpowering. Sweet, but not cloying.

Light grass hop nose with some fruity yeast esters: peach and apricot. Some caramel on the palate. Balanced, but more malt in the mouth. More twigs and a bit of grassy, light bitterness in the finish. The fruit flavors come out a little more as it warms. --- Beer merged from original tick of Iwate Kura Pale Ale on 03 Feb 2016 at 14:48

Bottle from Tanakaya. Pours a slightly hazy glowing neon yellow with a small sparkling wine-like head. Looks almost like a light cider or perry. Light bark and hay aromas with some grass, honey and light pepper. Dry on the palate with above average carbonation. The yeast seems a little harsh and has that peppery, sandpaper like thing going on when the beer is too yeasty. Still enjoyable, but might have been better in summer on a hot day. In no way sour, more musty or hay like. --- Beer merged from original tick of Fukukou Beer on 24 Dec 2015 at 21:14 - Score: 6. Original review text: This ones ok...not sour at all but some floral wild yeast on the nose and a bone dry finish.
