Tap. Pours opaque black, medium creamy brown head. Aroma is roasty, a bit smoky, molasses. Flavors is light sweet, light Bitter, heavy roast. Dusty, faintly fecal. Medium body. Ok.

Tap @ iBREW Shinbashi. Pours darker shade of amber, some white foam on top, pretty hazy - but not in NE way. Nose is malty, some fruity-sweet malt character, mango and relatively light hops. Taste has more hops, medium bitterness, is still sweetish-fruity-malty overall. Little bit heavy on the body, biscuity and finishing with slightly harsh bitterness. OK but not really something I would look out another time.

Tap at the Schinken Factory. Cloudy orange-brown with a tall, fine head. Very malty, estery, fruity, lots of toffee, peaches, oranges. Sweet, sticky treacle, strawberry, huge fruit. A bit young and super sweet but a lot of fun.

Keyaki fall 2016. Light granola notes with dried fruit and faint yeast character. More fruity esters with light pear coming out as it warms. Light and easy drinking, but not sure if it can be classified a saison, more of a golden ale, with some light spice on the finish. Decent. --- Beer merged from original tick of Fresh Hop Saison on 18 Sep 2016 at 13:48 - Score: 7

Tap at Watering Hole. Caramel forward nose with a bit of faint granola notes. Sweet on the palate with some light honey and grainy notes...more caramel. Finish is dry with a bit of yeast. Not horrible, but not that good either. --- Beer merged from original tick of Kodaimai on 25 Apr 2016 at 20:01 - Score: 5. Original review text: Light caramel nose. Grainy on the palate. Not bad, just not that good either....

Under the name Onnagawa Hop Pale (Kanji can be read as Megawa so assuming this is the same). Goldish amber with a finger of head. Malty aromas with some very light dry orange zest on the palate. Malt driven for sure. Again very dry on the palate. Good carbonation but what a boring beer. --- Beer merged from original tick of Onagawa Hop Pale (女川ホップペール) on 18 Apr 2016 at 19:19 - Score: 6. Original review text: Malty nose with a dry orange zest on the palate. Dry. No flavor really. Good carbonation.

On tap at Craft Beer Tap, Tokyo. Clear golden to amber, with an off-white head. Fresh hoppy aroma with citrus, notes of fruits and pine. Medium sweet with pleasant hoppy flavours and a nice bitterness. Decent and refreshing. --- Beer merged from original tick of Sasanishiki IPA (ササニシキIPA) on 04 Apr 2016 at 19:35 - Score: 7

Tap at iBrew. Cloudy golden-orange with lace. Estery nose, cloves, oranges, bananas, vanilla. Nice tartness. Spicy, peppery flavor with apricots, peaches. Great fruit. Somewhat boozy, with a dry, hot finish that became more noticeable as it warmed. Good.

Tap at iBrew. Pitch black with lace. Nose of cocoa, soy sauce, coffee, lots of umami. Spicy flavor, cinnamon, chocolate, coffee, umami. A bit thin in body, but decent.

Tap at iBrew. Hazy golden color, effervescent, fine low head. Crisp malt and snappy hop nose. Like a proper helles. Full body, great chewy malts, rounded malt flavor. solid noble hops coming through. Just a bit gummy, almost like glutenous rice, which bothered me a bit when it warmed. Otherwise, a damn good beer.
