Copper with a white head. Aroma is a bit muted but decent amount of earth forward hops with some light citrus and caramel malt. Medium to full bodied. Finish has a lingering bitterness. I wish the hop flavor and aroma was a bit stronger to match the bitterness but it’s a fairly nice brew.

Tap at Komachi. Bright, slightly hazy golden. Very bright, fresh fruit nose, citrus, tropical, light malt. Flavor is dry, bright, fruity. Not much lager character to speak of--they also refer to it as a Cold IPA. Fresh taste turns a bit muddy and bitter in the finish, with a touch of sake rice. Great fruit but something about it is disconcerting.

Hoppy and fruity. Lots of bitterness. Not sure I get cold IPAs but this is alright

Bottle from the brewery. Bright gold, clear, with a low head. Nose of honey, grain, lemons, spicy yeast. Crisp, spicy, bitter flavor. Citrus and honey, earthy. Summer refreshment but slightly too bitter for my tastes. Still good.

Bottle from the brewery, mail order. Excited about this one. Supposedly the first beer the brewer wanted to make. Only took 16 years to get around to it! soft, fluffy malt nose, bread, biscuit, bit of lemony, grassy hops. Bright gold, clear, with a thick, fine head. Soft and malty, bready, smooth, full body, low carbo, quite suffig. Light hops with spicy, herbal, slight citrus notes. Pretty impressive.

Medium straw color. Nice floral, honey and cereal character in the nose. low medium bitterness, soft mouth feel, very quaffable. Well balanced. Excellent.

Nice dry and wheaty feel. Bit of hoppiness. Pretty traditional I feel and quite nice for it.
