Draft - Sweet black currant, almost like wine gums. Hazy orange with a thin head. Black current, sweet and juice like. A really bad beer, but I thought it still tasted pretty good.

On tap at the Ibaraki Bakuon. It pours a nice orange gold coot giving me the classic IPA look. It has a weak aroma. The taste is fine but somewhat one dimensional, it’s decent.

5%, 500 yen at Grillman, Nagoya, with an Aichi Triennale Discount. A pale greenish-blue with a light blue-white head. It looks more like a cocktail than a beer, the aroma is lemony sugary freezee, you know those blue freezes you ate as a kid? Decent body & a citrusy sweet taste, lemon but why is it blue? More like an alcopop than a beer but the taste is decent & not so artificial, hell if it was a pilsner color you’d probably think it was a great lemon beer.

On tap at the GJBF Osaka. A light pink color with a minimal head. A very sweet deliciously fruity sour aroma. The flavor is more like a carbonated grapefruit cocktail than a beer, sweet & delicious though slightly artificial.

On tap at the Kyoto Craft Beer Fest. It poured a copper color with a light beige head, a pretty malty aroma and the flavor was so so. Kind of rough, too bitter for me (pine bitterness) and I felt it wasn’t so well balanced. It was ok but not as good as the other Masaji Beers I had.

5/3/4/3/8 Draught at Q-Brick. Nose not bad, stone fruits, esters, caramel, bready malt, some diacetyl. Orange-brown color with lace. Strange astringent flavors, malt husks, burntness, strange esters, peaches. Needs a lot of work still.
