Vector Brewing Nekopunch
Wheat Pale Ale 5%
Quite clear deep gold with thick fluffy eggshell white foam. The aroma is ripe musty mango. Medium bodied with a relatively smooth mouthfeel and a slightly sharp dank bitter bite near the finish but it’s mostly subsumed in the overripe tropical fruit notes.
Solid beer from a Tokyo brewery I don’t know so well.

20/9/2024. Bottle courtesy of Painy’s travel to Tokyo. From the bottle sat on a park bench in beautiful Abbey Gardens. Not your typical park bench beer. Aroma is tropical, herbal, citris, gooseberry, white grape, grass. Moderate sweetness, very nice long bitterness. Moderate body, foamy carbonation. Bit too gassy from the bottle but otherwise very nice.

Vector Brewing Fresh Lemon Ale 4.5% Lovely gold with a bright herbal lemon aroma. Medium bodied and smooth with a more lemongrass than natural lemon flavor. Refreshing on this scorching hot summer day, as is the a/c. Anyone know anything about Vector out of Tokyo?

I think this is my first beer from these guys… Vector Brewing Back to the Classic IPA 6% Ruddy orange color with dense off-white foam and an enticing classic west coast ipa hop bouquet. Medium to full bodied with a herbal piney woodsy bitter hop flavor but pretty well balanced. Not bad, it smells great but the taste is still rough around the edges. Promising showing.

Tap @ iBREW Shimbashi. Clear golden pour with some white foam on top, quite classic look. Nose has lots of sweet fruity notes, even some homey there. Tropical and ripe. Taste has good base fruitiness but hops that have been used are a bit harsh, grassy and turning overall feel somewhat vegetable forward. Bitter grassy linger in the finish, somewhat oily body, lots of hop resins - but body cannot really put up with this, so it does leave somewhat imperfect impression. Still good though.
