On tap at Molto Stand. It pours a muddy dark brown with a creamy off-white head of foam. It has a fantastic hop bouquet with some earthy rye notes. A lively carbonation on a medium body. The taste is astringent from the dark malts with cocoa and acrid black patent malts then tons of green bitter hops. This is more of a dark ale than a "pale" ale, decent but not as nice as most of the beers in this series.

Tap at Komachi. Cloudy dark gold with a fine head. big lemony nose, some pineapple, bready, and lots of grass. Herbal and citrus. Again very lemony and grassy flavor, oranges, biscuits. Rather sweet, just a touch of caramel. Full body. A bit too sweet and grassy, but overall very nice.

hazy light yellow color. Somewhat hoppy light body, but muddled and directionless. Not flawed, but boring and not an IPA.

very dry, tropical fruit, lemony, light body. Slight burnt, almost band aid note. Still nice, but edges towards something I wouldn’t like

Deep brown color with light brown head. briny, lightly smoked, slightly salty. A bit lighter than I usually like my smoked porters, but still a decent brew.

Pours pink, nice foam. Aroma is pure rasberry, no sweetness, fresh. Taste has some wheat, raspberry essence. Sour and a bit dry. Would love it with a raspberry cake. Really good.

Tap at Yellow Ape. Cloudy-ass brown with a bit of orange and a thick, fine head. Malty nose, chocolate, caramel, tobacco, grass, rye. Hops seem quite British. Flavor also is great British hops, lots of leave and tobacco, nice grains, bread, huge, long-lasting bitterness. Very full-ish body for 3.8%. Very interesting, comes across as a really rich bitter. Must say that the level of bitterness was too high, though, taking away from my overall enjoyment.

Tap at Komachi. Soft, bready malt nose, grassy hops, lemon. Brilliant, cloudy golden color with a thick but low head. Flavor is lemon, biscuit, grass. Perfect balance. Great, soft, silky body. Very bitter finish but not too much. Perfect body, so soft--Luc is a master of softness! Great beer.
