Tap @ iBREW Shinbashi. Pours clear yellow golden. Looks crisp, with some foam and leaves long-lasting lacings. Nose is malty sweetish, fruity and covered with fresh hop character. Resiny pine. Taste is aggressively fresh and aggressively hoppy, quite a lot of bitterness and the linger turns a bit harsh. Body feels light and oily with resins. Really classical and well made West Coast IPA for me, nice break from all of this NEIPA craze.

Tap at iBREW Shinbashi. Dark brown pour, no real carbonation and no real head. Bready caramel nose, no sweetness though. Some rye spices? Taste has more caramel, recognisable booze kick and also lots of lighltly bitter rye spices. Dark fruits, plums and figs without accompanying aweetness. Dry. Pretty much exactly as I imagine how a well made old ale should be.

Tap at Takumiya. Spicy nose, tobacco, caramel, raisins. Spicy hops and dried fruits in the flavor, blackstrap molasses comes through as does the rich British malt with brown sugar. Malt and rich but not overly sweet with a dry, spicy, nicely hopped finish. Great.

Tap at Takanoya shared by KL. Lovely hoppy aroma featuring prickly pear and papaya. Clean flavored medium bodied IPA that hits the spot. It didn't stand out but was undoubtedly solid and highly unlikely to disappoint. Nailed it.

Score! Lucky me stumbling on this on tap in Kansai (at Takanoya to be exact). Orange-gold in color with a softly spicy aroma. Medium bodied and dry with a hefty dose of allspice and some cinnamon with just hints of nutmeg. I'd prefer a more velvety smooth mouthfeel but this is a solid example of the style.

Tap at Takanoya. Glowing orange-brown, clear, with lace. Very spicy nose, allspice mainly, some nutmeg. Some caramel malts. Very spicy flavor, a bit sweet, too much allspice to the point of astringency. Don't get much pumpkin, as usual. Needs some tuning.

Tap @ BeerFes Yokohama, September 17th, 2017. Pours clear golden, bit of foam. Nice herbal hoppy nose, light fruits and overall hinting a drinkable and dry beer. Tastes clean with light biscuity base where you can find some citric and grassy hops on top. Nice balance and very clean. Easy sessionable IPA. Good carbonation also contributing to the mouthfeel. Nice one.
