On tap at Dig. Dull tan, no head, not much character; dull and lifeless. Inoffensive.

Tap at Taiyo Sakaba. Light chocolate and roasted malt on the nose. Too thin for the abv personally. Gets kind of watery. Nice enough I guess, but doesn’t really go anywhere. Coffee is there. --- Beer merged from original tick of #091 Have A Break Coffee Porter on 11 Jun 2016 at 21:41 - Score: 7. Original review text: Light bodied simple coffee Porter....chocolTe.

Tap at Watering Hole. Citrus forward nose with shikuwasa and light orange notes. Crackery malts, well balanced and refreshing. Nice prickly citrus pithiness on the finish. One of the better fruit beers from Ushi-Tora recently. --- Beer merged from original tick of #087 Buchi Citrus De Gansu on 10 Jun 2016 at 19:55 - Score: 7.

Low medium brown color that looks like dirt water. Very malt nose with some diactyle. Leafy, hoppy. Light body, but very simple and boring. Pass.

Tap at Bungalow. Dark brown with orange, hazy. Fine low head. Nice chocolate nose, brown sugar, and a bit of coffee. Sweet and fruity flavor, orange, low coffee, low roast. More like a brown ale. Smooth and soft. Lacking something--either much more coffee, or some roast or hops is needed.

Keyaki Spring 2016. Citrus and piney nose with orange notes. Clean and well-balanced on the palate. Bitter finish with more pine than citrus. Decent enough. --- Beer merged from original tick of #069 Hatopoppo Adlay Pale Ale on 15 May 2016 at 14:19 - Score: 6

Keyaki spring 2016. Grassy hop notes with big iyokan aromas on the nose. Some nice peppery yeast notes as it warms. Above average carbonation with nice citrus on the palate. Great finish with just enough salt. Crisp, clean and dry. Lovely on a hot day. --- Beer merged from original tick of Uetake #088 Sour of Love Hoppy Gose on 15 May 2016 at 14:20 - Score: 8
