Very turbid golden color with big frothy white head. The josemis clean but barley any hops, but banana creampie. Nice light body, low medium bitterness. Smooth body but a bit directionless.

Tap at B&G. Weird idea. An India White Ale using rice cakes? Nose is bright citrus hops and biscuits. Cloudy gold with a thick, low head. Wheaty flavor, big pithy mandarin orange, rice. Finish is very bitter and a bit rough. Ok. Not really sure what they are aiming at.

I assume this is the 2018 version, as it's too mild to be aged. Really not much going on, in body or aroma. Looks good, though.

On tap pours out dark brown almost black topped with a small tan head. Nose is vegetables some herb notes coriander I suppose and some grain. Taste is more of the coriander forward herb notes some earthy Hops and a little bit of perfume.

Draft at musica, Sapporo, Japan. Pours fairly hazy, orange gold, with persistent white foam. Aroma is citrus but sweet. Body is fairly dense with moderate carbonation. Taste is only partially set at first, then pretty bitter. Finish is fairly long and bitter.
