Bottle from Yamaoka Rich, juicy NE style nose, lots of orange, juice, papaya, grapefruit, wheat. Pale yellow, hazy, with a tall head. Nice fruity flavor, not as rich as the nose, more citrus, also tropical, grapefruit zest and pith, again a bit wheaty. Light, snappy body is just right for a session. Finish is fruity and slightly spicy but not bitter or thick or heavy. Well done.

Never figured on finding juicy haze at Isetan let alone more than one! Nomcraft EBBSESSION Session Hazy IPA 5% Hazy straw gold with a bright white foamy top - kind of like a pineapple smoothie. Great aroma of tropical fruits overripe guava with hints of floral notes. Very round spikey carbonation, highly effervescent. Decent juiciness but that aggressive carbonic mouthfeel detracts. Quite nice overall.

Guess which one? Sadly probably the last Nomcraft I’ll ever have, unless I come back to Japan someday! Glad I tried about half their beers. Rock on, drink up.

Goodness! Good for the first truly warm week of the year. Going through school photos. I’ll miss this class 4evar.

I’m sure these guys must fail once in awhile, but they never release those. This is as good as ever. Clean and smooth, with a crisp finish. White pepper.

Nice enough. Bit spicy. Aroma of bo. Taste is quite bitter, quite hoppy. Bot of something tropical lingering at the back. But maybe the bitterness overwhelms everything.

Nomcraft Cacao Blend Chocolate Coffee Stout 5.5% Deep cola black with a rusty tan head and soft cacao aroma. The smooth medium body gives you a mocha latte coffee flavor with chocolate softening the flavors though you still get hints of roasted malts. Both of these are definite winners, seems like they’ve gotten their system dialed in since last I tried them. Good job guys.
