very dry with lots of white grapefruit and mint character. Crushable but not as well balanced as original. Nice enough though

Tap at Bungalow. Pale gold, lightly hazy. Creamy wheat nose with citrus hops. Crisp, creamy, wheat is noticeable, hops are decent but not huge.

Tap at Bungalow, right after the Shitatenage, which is the lager yeast version. Bright tropical and stone fruits. Slightly less minerally and harsh in the finish and overall a bit better.

6.9/10 β€” Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Tap at Bungalow. Bright hoppy nose with orange, mango. Hazy gold with a thick, low head. Sweet, hoppy flavor, big fruit, slightly soapy, with a prickly finish. Starts nice, but the minerally, soapy finish is a bit unpleasant.

Very pale golden color. Creamy white head. In general I have become skeptical of 10% IPAs but the nose is fantastic. Grapefruit rinds, mango and crackery malt character, semi dry and very clean. Wow. Fuck. The is semi-dry, super balanced, unbelievably quaffable for 10%. The alcohol is well hidden. Fuck. I was on the fence about order this but so glad I did. Literally I have drank very few 10% IPAs that can pull this off. A lot more mangoes, citrus and crackery malt on the palate but it’s not overly malty or sweet. Super great. Ushitora is killing it recently.
