Can from CBL 2017 but also spotted at SUVACO in Kyoto Station. Kizakura’s take on an American Pale Ale according to the label. Medium full body on an orange colored brew. This is an old school APA flavor profile, huge pine resin aroma and very bitter piney hop notes before you get a slightly slick malt sweetness. Not bad but what they should have brewed like 3-5 years ago.

Can from CBL 2017 but I’ve seen it at Suvaco/Isetan in Kyoto Station as well. Listed as a White Beer on the can so I used my Nagahama Weizen glass. Slightly cloudy gold in appearance with a thick fluffy head that unfortunately didn’t have much staying power. The aroma is earthy lemon rind and wheat flakes. The taste is similar with some tough biscuity notes thrown into the mix. Passable but needs work to gain some polish.

Can from the brewery. Cool can. Malty caramel nose, some citrus and pine. A bit weird. Deep orange amber, medium, thick, fine head. Creamy, with lots of caramel, some vanilla, pine, bit of citrus, herb, butter. Toffee is rich. Pretty solid body, good carbonation. A bit old fashioned and more of an American brown than a pale ale. Rather bitter finish. Ok.

Can from the brewery. Hazy golden color with a tall, fine head. Malty nose with light yuzu, biscuity. Flavor is sansho, biscuit, wheat, light citrus. A bit too sweet and heavy, but getting there.
