Tap at Komachi. Clear gold. Honey malt, citrus, rich spices in the nose. Sweet and malty, citrus hops, spices. Quite thick and heavy, and a bit rough. Not as impressed as I was with the original.

Clear pale golden with a tall white head. Aroma is pine and grassy hops with very restrained sweetness. Flavor is similar with a very solid bitterness to accompany the whole thing. Finish is medium with lingering bitterness. I really dig this brew. Clean and bitter.

Initially worrying clove spiciness. But goes nicely with the roastiness of the black ipa part. Strength is well hidden. But the hops are there.
