Bottle from Yamaoka. Medium golden. Light fruity hop nose, relatively thin malt. Lemony flavor of citrus hops, clean, sweet, light malt. Relatively simple.

On tap at Popeye, pours a cloudy bright golden with a small white head. Nose is full of clove and banana, with some light bubblegum esters. Flavour is estery, with bubblegum, banana, and light clove. Estery finish, more or less in keeping with the style. Okay.

Tap at Taptime. Nice. Decent balance between honey sweetness and bit of bitterness. Easy drinking. Manages to have a touch of spiky bitterness. Surprising!

Keyaki. No discernible aroma... Bit of bitterness, lightly floury, easy drinking, but not very much beer characteristics...
