Tap @ DC Jiyugaoka. Pours clear golden, some white foam on the top, leaving lacings. Nose has light sweetness, crisp and more malty than I expected. Just a bit of tropics. Taste reveals a strong malty edge, brisk biscuits that have good resiny hops and lightly oily after-glow. Drinks super easy, relatively basic IPA that just delivers what it's supposed to deliver.

Tap at Keyaki Spring 2019. Crisp, lemony hops and crackery malt. Light and crisp flavor, crackers, clean bitterness, citrus. Well done, solid pa.

Tap at Keyaki Spring 2019. Tropical fruit and oranges in the nose. Cloudy golden color. Huge nasty vanilla flavor, sweet, sticky oranges and vanilla like something the ice cream man brings. Nasty, after a nice start.

Tap at Keyaki Spring 2019. Big fruity nose like a pina colada with coconut, mango and vanilla. Sweet and creamy and basically nasty. No thanks.

Tap @ DC Kanda. Golden pour, relatively clear. Some white foam on the top. Nose has spices, feel light and some dusty rice character there as well. Taste has some sweetness, not very strong Belgian candy sugar nor Belgian yeast - but rice is quite prominent. Not fully convinced it's a good match for this style but basically, why not.As a tripel, not too complex, main thing is that rice character.

Tap @ DC Kanda. Almost clear yellow golden with some white foam on the top. Soft juicy tropical nose, light hop character. Mango and pineapple. Taste is refreshing, not too creamy but has some oily mouthfeel, good level of hops. Nice one, hop-forward and tropical.

Tap @ DC Kanda. Pours golden, almost clear, just lightly cloudy. White foam on the top but is gone relatively quickly. Nose has some vanilla, tropical fruit sweetness, toasted coconut. Taste has coconut as well, quite a lot - but that is balanced with lacto tartness, juicy tropical fruits as well. Rather low bitterness, more of that acidity lingering in the finish. Dry linger with some citrus peels.

Tap @ DC Kanda. Pours super hazy, some white foam. Truly pulpy. Nose is tropical, light vanilla accent, juicy in NE style. Taste has more juice, fruity tartness, medium bitterness. Reminds me Old Nation's Boss Tweed - and that was a beer I liked. Really well brewed, quaffable beer that I throughly enjoy.

pale golden color. Light body, nice grassy herbal character. Sharp bitterness. Very clean and refreshing. Nice lawn mower beer.

golden color. Quick disappearing head. Nice crackery malt under grassy herbal nose. Lots of herb, nice mouthfeel with good cereal notes. Modestly aggressive bitterness that lingers. Fuller body than expected but nicely made German lager. Very clean. The more I drank the more I liked and edged up the rating a touch
