Can from Tanakaya. Drank straight out of the can. Roasted malt aromas with coffee, chocolate, almonds, caramel and light dark fruit notes. Average carbonation with a nice roasty malt flavor on the palate. Surprisingly bitter under the carbonation (roasty bitterness or hop bitterness or both). Porter-like body with a nice semi-dry finish. Really solid.

On tap at Kamikaze. Oh la Ho emotive IPA 6% slightly mat gold color with a great hop bouquet of citrus, pine and resin. Sharply carbonation and fairly light bodied. The taste is earthy pine bark. Simple but solid. Doesn’t leave such a strong impression though.

Keyaki Fall 2015. Deep gold with a nice soapy white head. Grassy aromas with some lemon, pine and grapefruit. Good citrus and grass flavor. Well-balanced with a solid bitter finish. Another solid IPA from Oh La Ho. --- Beer merged from original tick of Emotiv IPA on 21 Sep 2015 at 17:04 - Score: 7

Can from Tanakaya. Drank straight from the can. Good grassy and piney hop aromas with some light grapefruit. Great carbonation with a sticky mouthfeel, but not overly sweet. Well-balanced IPA with a nice bitter finish. Very good.

Poured into a teku glass showing moderate filtration and dark amber hues with half a finger of clean white foam. The nose shows a few steel tank notes and mostly sharp clean notes of pine and cannabis. A few notes of dried pineapple. The palate is well carbonated and surprisingly light bodied. Very smooth and clean body. Flavors are simple - mostly light tropical fruits, neither particularly juicy or ripe nor unripe, just in the middle. Finally, a respectable Japanese craft pale ale that I can get regularly!

6% abv version at Ushitora. BIg grapefruit and with aromas of resin, pine and marmalade. Nice bitterness on the palate with good malt sweetness to balance. Finish is bitter. Almost IPA like. --- Beer merged from original tick of Captain Kid Extra Pale Ale on 06 Aug 2015 at 19:39 - Score: 7
