Tap at Komachi. Grassy, herbal nose with light citrus and nice, crisp, crackery malt. Lemony, grassy, crackery malt, proper bitterness, spicy, peppery noble hops along with light citrus. A cracking, snappy pils, the best beer of the day.

Tap at Komachi. No bittering hops used, so 0.0 IBU it is said. Clear gold, slightly hazy. Nice citrus nose, light tropical notes. Lightly sweet flavor with solid citrusy hops and very low bitterness, though there is some.

Tap at Young Master beer festival in HK. Hazy bright golden orange pour with big puffy white head. Aroma is mango and sharp citrus. Taste is way lighter and flatter than expected based on nose. Smooth bitterness with zesty citric bite. Light bright and drinkable.

Tap at Komachi. Deep dark crimson, cloudy, with white lace. Rich berry nose, raspberry, blackberry, don't specifically get blueberry. Jammy, some seeds, light lactic / yogurt. Flavor is light and not very sour, berry is nice, finish is very dry and almost dusty and thin. Doesn't live up to the promise of the nose. Needs more lactic acid, both for sourness itself and for the lactic creaminess.

Cloudy light golden color. Massive dried mangos in the nose with tropical fruit in the background. Medium light body too carbonated and mouthfeel is a bit off , bitter finish. Nice but nose is amazing the rest is not bad

Tap @ iBrew Shinbashi. Pours bright orange, fleshy and without a large head. Well, looking exactly as mango juice. Nose is fruity, soft mango character there as well, fresh and with some hops. Taste is hoppy and bitter, that's what is covering sweet fruit mango puree. Crazy nice actually, lupulin powder is strong, tingling and satisfying. Well brewed and fun beer to drink.
