Tap at the brewery. Hazy golden orange. Nice aroma of melon, orange, mango, ripe tropical fruits, and some bready, slightly honey-like malts. Flavor is huge fruits. Wow, this is an impressive use of Enigma, really shows it off. The English malts work well in backing it up, unobtrusive and supportive. Lovely beer, the best yet from them, and can't wait to try more in this series.

My first brown IPA. Definitely brown, definitely looks ugly, but tastes like a nice, fresh, pretty IPA. Mmmmmm....

Tap at Zest Oike Beer Festival. Dark brown and very muddy. Nose is rich chocolate malts and citrus hops. Flavor similar, a touch of caramel too. Rich, not too sweet, tasty citrus goes well with the malt. No roastiness, which is good by me.

Tap at Nara Craft Beer Matsuri 2018. Hazy golden orange. Nice fruity, juicy hop nose--orange, mango, pine. Sweet and juicy flavor, biscuity malt, pine, tropical fruit. Second batch at the brewery was even better, fruitier and cleaner. 3.4 --> 3.6.

Tap at Takumiya. Citrus nose, wheat, something a bit heavy, creamy. Very creamy, wheat biscuits, wheat flour. Nice citrus flavor. The taste and body are a bit heavy, flour, malt. A decent start but could be lighter and crisper.
