Tsukuba Konjikihime IPA 7%
This is a nice clear gold with thin white foam and a candy sweet tart and citrus aroma. The flavor on the medium bodied has a bit of pine abs citrus which brings to mind a west coast ipa. It is pretty well balanced. Pretty good.

Gassuiseki Hazy IPA 7%
Nice matte gold with wispy white foam and a rich stone fruit and citrus aroma. The flavor on a medium-full body has a bit of a tang to it but is generally well/balanced. Not quite as over the top juicy as other hazies but ok.

Tsukuba Benkei-Nanamodori Red IPA 7%
Dark reddish brownn with thin beige foam and a piney, slightly peppery rye(?) aroma. The taste adds elements of candied orange peel on a medium body. Solid.

Tried on tap at IBC 2025. Lightly smoky nose with just a hint of plum flavor. Amber colored. Clean malt and medium body. Nicely balanced.
