Tap at Before 9’s 3rd Anniversary party. Side by side with a US hazy brew. Fair Stare Mirror Universe 7% (L) Big Bang IPA Uchu Brewing (R) Right off the bat both look almost identical hazy orange-gold though Big Bang May be a touch hazier/more opaque. Mirror Universe has a rich tangy orange aroma while Big Bang smells juicier with tropical orange juice notes. Mirror State is medium to full bodied with a sweet sugary finish and good juice. BIg Bang is medium bodied but finish a bit dry and the orange tropical juice kicks things off but it ends with a mild bitter bite. Big Bang comes off less sweet and more balanced, not to style I guess but more drinkable, I like the tangy orange in the finish as well. Both of these are really nice beers, when I saw two hazy IPAs with the same ABV with one from Japan and the other the US, I knew I needed to drink them side by side. They’re quite comparable, solid takes on the style without hitting it out of the park.

My first from this new, famous brewery. Tastes fresh and juicy with a dirty, organic finish. Mmm

Finally got to try some hazy beer from Uchuu Brewing! 800¥ on tap at Hachi. Uchuu Milky Way IPA 6.8% Cloudy honey wax gold with a juicy but pithily dank aroma. Medium bodied, semi-sweet and finishing dry. The taste is juicy lemon seltzer then herbal light dankness. Very drinkable but not a juice bomb - it is juicy but stays recognizably beer.

Had this in bottle. super cloudy. Cow manure, peaches and melon in the nose. Very odd. Mouth feel is nice. Mint candy, like fruit flavored mint candy that is actually a bit tangy in the palate. Low carbonation low bitterness. Bad nose but afterwards I loved it.

330ml bottle. Light golden pour, relatively transparent. Some white foam on the top. Dank nose, some green and fruity aromas. Taste has lots of bitterness, crazily hopped, IBU must be insane. bBalance is good although that raw bitter lupulin tingle remains for some time. Dry and herbal hoppy finish.

Tap at CBM Otemachi. Nicely peppery, spicy nose, mango, orange, citrus. Light and smooth, very prickly hop finish, great body from the oats. Sweet, rich tropical fruit smoothie. Best of the day.

Tap at CBM Otemachi. Slightly funky, quite prickly and spicy mango (like the part near the stone), light dankness, rich tropical fruit and orange juice, nicely peppery, prickly finish. Works well.

Tap at CBM Otemachi. Pale golden, cloudy NE. Pineapple, orange, fruity nose as expected with tropical and citrus. A bit thin and light (maybe also to be expected). Comes across as a bit bland when compared to their bigger beers.

Tap at CBM Otemachi. Creamy pale gold, very cloudy, pretty. Nose is orange, mango, tropical fruits, juicy wheat. Smooth and wheaty, a bit on the floury side and rather sweet.
