Tap. Note--can't drink this kind of stuff personally, but I will rate it for what it is. Great nose of bhut jolkia, somewhat roasty, herbal, also get citrus hops and malt. Deep amber-orange. Flavor is face-numbing ghost peppers, though they have been frozen first, so it isn't deadly, but still more than I can handle for more than a sip or two. Still I can appreciate the flavors, and the pepper really meshes well with the base pale ale. A good beer, if you are into this kind of thing. I must score it low overall, though.

Nice stuff. Quite British feel to it. Soft maltiness with a touch of sweetness. Lemony hops. Very drinkable.

Tap at umineko. Clear pale gold with a bready herbal aroma. Medium bodied and crisp. A lovely beer.

Nice! Malty, low carb, lemon and other citrus fruitiness. Some kind of light funkiness in a pleasant way. Very interesting!

slightly hazy golden color. Exceptionally nice soft dry but pugnant yuzu character. The yuzu dominates but doesn’t overwhelm, nice dry bitterness that works well with the fruit. Dry bitter finish with yuzu lingering. The fruit is really well done but the pilsner character loses out but it’s still a nice beer for what it is.

Tap at Japan Brewer's Cup 2019. Rich malt, big yet subtle Amarillo hops. Lovely peach and orange notes, with a bit of caramel and lots of rich, biscuity malt. Very subtle, smooth, lovely. This doesn't awe in the first sip, but just gets better with each taste. Great decoction mash, an Amarillo-hopped polotmavy really. Excellent.

Pretty lame pale ale with little bitterness and as it warms has butter popcorn.
