On tap at Beer Keyaki Spring 2014. Cloudy honey gold pour. A kind of biscuity nose I can’t pin down. Mild caramel flavor, a hint of bitterness in the finish. A run of the mill English Pale ale but ok enough.

Tap at Two Dogs. Sweet banana and clove flavor, a bit cloying. Rich, malty, full. Not bad, but a bit too sweet.

Keg at Popeye, Tokyo. Hazy amber, small head. Minerally melon aroma. Sweet with full body and rounded mouthfeel. Fruity and caramelly with crystal malt and minerals. Long bitter finish.

Draft to a plastic cup @ Nippon Craft Beer Festival 2014. Pours almost white with a small head, looks watery. Can’t really distinguish much of the aroma here. Taste is somewhat spiky. Sticking out. Watery, some malt background, otherwise pretty light. Somehow it doesn’t feel too pleasant for me - can’t really understand what has been the brewer’s attempt. I am sure there was a plan behind this beer, making it more special - just no idea what it could have been. Dry aftertaste. Something is off with this beer.
