Backlog March 2009. Deep golden body under a big off-white head. Strong hoppy aroma with citric fruits and peaches. Taste is sweet malt, some caramel, citric fruits and quite bitter. A very nice classic IPA.

Backlog February 2009. Slightly unclear orange yellow body under a dense, fading white head. Nice hoppy aroma of citric fruits, grapefruit, grass and pine. Taste is average malty with a fine fruity bitterness and bitter aftertaste. Refreshing, easy to drink classic American pale ale.

Can at Mugishutei. Black and shiny. Rich chocolate nose, nice roasty notes to balance. Sweet chocolate, roasted malt, lightly fruity. Very chocolatey but not overly sweet or cloying. Nice indeed.
