On tap at Popeye’s, cask actually. Pours a reddish dark amber color with a small white head. A smooth malty fruity nose. The flavor is caramel, toast, citrus, some light bready malts. Solid.

Keg at Popeye - Tokyo. Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. The nose holds light pine, citrusy hops. Medium sweet flavour with mellow bitterness, some orange rind, light pine. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with modest piney bitterness, dried citrus, simple pale bread. So so.

Keg at Popeye - Tokyo. Pours clear orange-gold with a creamy head. The nose has some faded pine, orange rind, bread crust. Light sweet flavour with more piney hops, dry pale malts, grassy bitterness. Light to medium bodiednwith average carbonation. Pine resin in the finish, more grass, crisp pale malts. Not bad in the end.

Aroma is indeed rice. Some fruity sour stuff as well. Fuzzy tablet maybe, lettuce definitely. Taste is fuzzy tablet. Finish is more of the fruity rice. Smooth and nice.

Honey and bread, caramel. Some tanines. Very foresty fruity taste with bitterness and honey sweetness. More honey and some spicyness in the finish with a full body. Very good.

Lots of fruits, passion fruit, some bready malts as well. Taste is fresh citrussy sourness at first but with some bitterness later which doesnt fit in my opinion. Easy drinkable. Good but with a little catch.
