deep cloud golden color. Nice nose of biscuit malts and citrusy and piney hops. Old school IPA for sure. Full body, big malt backbone, but balanced with huge bitterness. Not too boozy despite 9% but you feel the warmth, which I don’t need in the middle of summer in Japan. Still balanced clean and well executed

A bit New England like, slightly hazy, quite fruity.

New England again but the booze helps this time. But basically it seems to be the same again really hit with a booze boost

Tastes the same as the xpa!
