From a 12 oz bottle at the WWWW RB tasting. Pours a hazy copper with a thick ecru head. Saison like. Nothing exceptional.

On tap at Bungalow. An orange gold with a creamy beige head of foam. A juicy fruity hop bouquet greats my nostrils promising delicious flavors for my tastebuds. Surprisingly malt forward giving me a bit of a top shelf English Bitter with caramel and lemon notes. Tasty.

On tap at BBNI. Slightly hazy copper with a beautiful fluffy eggshell colored head. Great lacing. Aromas of toffee, caramel, grass and some lemon. Taste is more of the same with some light fruit coming out as it warms. Rich and creamy mouthfeel but not to heavy. Refreshing on the palate. Easy to drink. --- Beer merged from original tick of Forest Pale Ale on 03 Feb 2016 at 14:41

Tap at Qbrick. Reddish pink, cloudy, with a fine head. Nose is wheat, berries, acid. Nicely tart flavor, wheat, fruity berries. Crisp and light a bit like a Berliner weisse. Good fruity tartness makes it a nice summer drink.

On tap at CBM Koenji. Hazy copper with a nice soapy head that lingers throughout. Looks like a murky tea somewhat. Nose is super fruity and estery. Lots of young berry, lemon and some iyokan. Malt balance is nice with a kind of sweet, mildly tart and bitter palate. Slightly bitter finish that doesn’t linger. Not your usual IPA at all...a fun beer. --- Beer merged from original tick of E-IPA on 27 May 2015 at 14:13 - Score: 7

Bottle. Pours a cloudy pink purple color with a small white head. A big funky fruity nose. Odd, yeasty, tart, big berries, funky. Hmm. Ok.

North island E-IPA an IPA made with European hops. Not so elegant 60 IBU 6% a deep cloudy orange gold pour with s beige head. It has a woodsy hoppy fruit nose. Med-light bodied with an ascerbic bitter finish. The taste is bitter wheaty fruit - berry hoppiness which intrigues me.
