Can from a convenient store. They call this an APA but there is no way it is. Glowing brown-orange, cloudy, with a medium head. Pretty but the wrong color for the supposed style. Nose is pine, caramel, chocolate. It maybe should be an American brown ale. Caramel malt flavor, creamy, strong bitterness, resins. Well made beer, but very old school and what are they thinking calling this a pale ale?

Bottle at home while watching Black Sails and paired with a handful of goldfish crackers. Thick milky pour with sediments. Nose is fruity and rice. Tastes of pears, coconut milk, plums, rice and some white pepper. Fruity yet dry finish. Touch of pepper. Thicker bodied.

Can at the lodging in Kyoto - picked up at 7-Eleven. Pours clear gold, effervescent, with a creamy white head. The nose has some white bread, a little honey, dough. Light-medium sweet flavour with notes of pae grains, simple white bread, low bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with more sweet, pae bread, some grainy accents, white sugar. Very, very basic.

Bottle from the Antarabangsa Enterprise, Penang, Malaysia. Poured a clear straw colour with a short-lived fizzy white head and lots of bubbles. The aroma is sweet malt, light hop. The flavour is moderate sweet, light bitter with a light, crisp, light fruit, light mineral, floral hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with lively carbonation.

pale dirty dishwater color. Very strange taste that is light with eggplant and just a bit of chemically strange aftertaste. Not sure what to think

Bottle at home late night, I blew my internal budget on a perry I wanted so skimped on sake and got what I paid for. Yellowish pour not what looking for in daiginjo. Nose is almond and melon. Taste of almond milk, honey dew, rice, white raisins. Syrupy and not clean palate. Eh.

Bottle from Suvaco/Kyoto Isetan. Kizakura Kamo Eggplant (Nasu) 5% I was expecting something purple but this is your typical pale lager looking beer but it has a fruity aroma.

Very light seltzer like body. The initial flavor is fruity, then cardboard thin light maltiness and it finishes with dirt like notes. Better than the Chili beer... But both are just odd...
