Dark brown color. Lots of chocolate cake, fudge with citrus notes in the nose. Excellent fudge character with roasted malts in the mouth but modest hoppiness. Dry, really well balanced and sessionalble session black IPA

big coriander and oranges in the nose. Mouth is not as smooth as expected and rather simple. Overall just so-so.

Tap at Jibiruba. Pretty, cloudy white. Nose of yuzu, wheat, coriander. Crisp yuzu flavor, nicely done what, coriander comes out. Good, with a prickly, peppery finish and nicely dry.

Tap at Molto. A clear very pale gold with a thick fizzy head of foam. A fruity pear/Apple aroma with a medium body and a dry finish. The taste is pear & grapes with cream soda and wheat flakes, surprisingly sweet and wheaty. Sweet fruits, wheat and spices. My takeaway is a fruity cider with a wheat spiced porridge character. Not very beer like but OK. Now that I’m home and have done a bit of research I’ve confirmed it’s a pear beer.

Tap at Osaka Castle. Light yeast in the nose, citrus, bread. Bright, glowing gold. Flavor coming on light a light Dupont, great citrus, clean bready malts, dry, peppery, tingly finish. Great stuff. Wish they would forget the blue beers and focus on stuff like this.
