Tap at Bungalow. Light malt nose, a touch of hops, very plain. Clean, pale gold color with a low, fine head. Light, dry, crisp, a bit of lemony hop. Very might and not all that interesting but tasty and refreshing enough.

Ushi-Tora Brewery’s #69 Hato Po Po Ale 5.4% IBU 26 on tap at Bungalow. A bright copper pour with a thin off-white head. A fruity piney hop bouquet. Light bodied verging on watery. Mild hoppy flavor. OK enough but it’s too thin in my opinion.

Tap at Watering Hole. Orange-gold with a small white head that dissipates fairly quickly. Caramel aromas with some light grass. Sweet and then bitter on the palate. Bready but unbalanced with too much bitterness on the finish. Needs more work. --- Beer merged from original tick of MURASE #001 1st Complex on 25 Dec 2015 at 21:59 - Score: 6

Tap at Ushitora. Clear-ish orange with no head. Wondeful peppery, saison-like nose with light orange and corriander notes. Medium body with average to soft carbonation. Not overly sweet with some dryness. Orange comes out strong on the palate. Not bad, but a little off style. --- Beer merged from original tick of #061 Nanchatte Wit on 04 Dec 2015 at 20:43 - Score: 6
