6.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Tap at Komachi. Cloudy dark gold with a fine, thick head. Yeasty spice nose, dry bread, a hint of lemon but not much hop character. Flavor is biscuit, lemon, peaches. Very spicy from the yeast, and that overwhelms the hop character so I can’t tell at all it is Motueka. Spicy, peppery finish. Fullish body. Decent beer, more like a spicy Belgian wheat than an IPA.

Tap at CBM Koenji. Not much on the nose, mostly toasted caramel malt and a light, faint whiff of citrus. Prickly bitterness on the palate that tsunamis into an intense astringency, stomach acid and burned out yeast wasteland. Did I mention it has a bitter finish... --- Beer merged from original tick of IPA Amarillo on 11 Oct 2016 at 17:15 - Score: 4. Original review text: Nope. Way too bitter. Astringent and peppery. Dry, burned out yeast. No Amarillo whatsoever.

Takeout from CBM Koenji. Pours a deep brown with a finger of beige foam. Big roasty cacao nib nose with light coffee and roasted malt. Full-bodied for Marca with a rich, roasty chocolate flavor. Bitter, roasty, hoppy finish. Quite nice and probably my favorite beer from Marca so far. --- Beer merged from original tick of Black IPA on 21 Sep 2016 at 19:53 - Score: 7. Original review text: Easily one of Marca's best. Great roasted cacao nib nose with coffee and roasted malt. Full bodied, great lacing. Mmmmmmmmm

Takeout draft from CBM Koenji. Clear gold with a finger of white fluffy foam that lingers. Very faint grassy hops and orange citrus notes. Taste has a bit more orange with some light grass. Quite bitter on the finish, but not undrinkable. Dry finish with lots of carbonation throughout. I really like what Marca are doing, they are getting closer it seems, but still need some work with the hops. Loved the light and crisp body though. --- Beer merged from original tick of Pale Ale Bitter Orange on 23 Aug 2016 at 19:50 - Score: 6. Original review text: Not bad....I love the body, light and not sweet. Dry finish. But not much nose and hardly any flavor besides bitterness. Keep trying though!

Takeout tap from CBM Koenji. Slighty hazy straw color with a finger of foam that lingers. Nice light lemon and wheat nose. Crackery malts with good carbonation. Not sweet and fairly crisp and dry. Then the finish just becomes insanely astringent, like "0 to those persimmons that you aren’t supposed to eat" in .5 seconds...cottonmouth after this one. I like Marca, but this is overly dry and bitter. --- Beer merged from original tick of Galaxy Wheat Ale on 18 Aug 2016 at 19:34 - Score: 5. Original review text: I don't hate it, I like what Marca is trying to do generally, but way too astringent on the finish. Starts out nice. But way too bitter.

Tap at Marca. Piny hopee, honey, lemon, golden malt. Crisp and hoppy with good malt background and a touch of honey. Light, crisp, good.

Tap at Marca. Spicy, estery, some phenols. A bit of tartness. Thick, sweet, and estery. doesn’t work as well as their American ales.
