On tap on the Island at the brewery. Pours a dark brown hue with a large tan head. A light roast nose. Light salty notes, caramel, light roast, some nutty elements. Solid.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a dark reddish color with a small white head. A malty sweet nose. Honestly, I get momiji here. Syrup, sweet, caramel, big pine hops. Really nice.

330ml can from 7-11 at the Miyajima ferry terminal, filled 20 days ago. 4.5%. Very light red, with little head. Low hops, but an interesting caramel malt flavor, hints of salt almost like soy. Slightly sour. Not bad. From the other reviews (fresher beer maybe better reviews?) I expect it's got wild yeast and that would of course make it change (worse in this case) over time. Curious if they make natural/spontaneous fermentation beers.

330ml can from 7-11 at the Miyajima ferry terminal, can date says 2018/12 so probably 7 months until expiration (?). 5%. Big head settling slowly. Light red straw color, almost like their caramel blond. More malt than hops in the nose. Light citrus hop flavor, moderate but unbalanced bitterness, slight sourness: not really on style for a pale ale. Refreshing nonetheless if you're on Miyajima on a hot day.

At a tasting, thanks, stable bubbly head, clear darkish orange color, light citrusy woody hebal aroma, flavor of cooked fruits and candy with a citrus hint, light bitterness. Drinkable but not too good.

Almost tastes like they blended this with their Caramel Blonde. Too smooth and light.

Tap at Bakuon 16. Orange-gold, cloudy, high head. Fruity, citrus nose, oranges, peaches, cloves. Very citrusy and a bit tart, with light banana notes. Crisp yet full. A very nice weizen in the tart, citrusy vein. Better than the old one for sure.

33cl can from the train station in Hiroshima. Slightly hazy dark golden with a modest, white head. Mild fruity and malty aroma with hints of honey, ripe oranges and caramel. Fairly sweet, rather mild flavours and modest bitterness. Better than the pale lagers here, but not quite as refreshing as I hoped for. --- Beer merged from original tick of Pale Ale on 12 Apr 2016 at 16:30 - Score: 5

Bottle thanks to Dusan & Simona. Probably infected. Fruity, apricot, acetic. Not really good unfortunately.
