On tap at Bungalow. IBU 25 5.9% A cloudy honey gold with a filmy white head. Bready with a light lemon aroma. This beer has a light body with a crisp citrusy flavor. Pretty good.

Tap at Oedo. Nice zesty tartness on the nose with a touch of grain. Tart on the palate with some light salt, well-balanced (maybe a tad heavy for the style) and great carbonation and mouthfeel (almost like a gueze). Faint orange zest, sherbet. Fruity, but not overdone with a dry and carbonated finish with a touch of salt. Nice one! --- Beer merged from original tick of Uetake #084 Natsumikan Gose on 08 May 2016 at 15:10 - Score: 7. Original review text: Nice tartness, light salt, well balanced good carbonation. Faint orange zest in the back ground. Well-done and quite to style.

Tap at Oedo Beer Fest. Huge iyokan, mikan and grapefruit forward nose. A tad boozy on the nose as well. Light bodied and easy drinking for the abv. Average carbonation with no head. Slight warming finish but a citrus bomb. Well-done IPA. --- Beer merged from original tick of Uetake #080 Yabai IPA on 02 May 2016 at 18:54 - Score: 7. Original review text: Punchy fruity IPA. Lots of juicy citrus....pithy finish. Nice.

Tap at Oedo Beer Fest. Weird plastic and orange notes on the nose. Some biscuit and honey notes as it warms. Harsh and melted plastic-like on the palate. More mikan notes as well. Sweet and plastic-foward on the palate. This is a foul beer. Head-ache inducing with a very amateur feel. Should have been dumped most likely. --- Beer merged from original tick of MURASE #008 Kiraboshi Citrus Ale on 02 May 2016 at 19:26 - Score: 6. Original review text: Meh.

On tap at Craft Beer Holiday. Ushitora Gose Natsu Mikan 3.5% An eggy wheat & lemon aroma. It was fairly full bodied with a tart wheaty flavor. The taste is quite full flavored for a gose delivering lots of tangy lemon and wheat. Yum.
