Can from Shinshu Sake Mura. Taste is light citrus, nice bitterness, grainy, floury. Aroma floral, lemon, biscuit malt. Only a few notes but remember being surprised by it as I thought it wouldn't be so good.

Crisp yellow and golden coloured body with a thinnish, pure white head, only a centimetre or so tall. Aroma of grass, light citrus and very dry herbal hops with a little dose of malt with some crisp yeast present as well. Light-bodied; Sharp malt and grassy flavours with some herbal hops present and very dry grainy notes with a light fresh biscuity malt with noticeable alcohol bites at the end with some astringent and perfumey hop characteristics which are nice and refreshing. Aftertaste is crisp and very balanced with a lot of fresh biscuity malt flavours and quite a bit of dry, grassy hop flavours that show some light bitterness but very noticeably piney and almost resinous character at the end that has a bit more alpha acids. Overall, a balanced and well-structured APA that has fresh malt and hop flavours with a smooth and dry bite of astringency at the end. Nice on a very hot summer day here in Tokyo. I sampled this 350 mL can purchased two days ago at World Liqour Mart in Daimon, Tokyo, Japan on 03-August-2019 for 288JPY sampled two days later here in my hotel room in Tokyo, Japan on 05-August-2019.

Crisp and ever so slightly hazy golden coloured body with a thinnish pure white head that fades quite, but only starts out at about a centimetre. Aroma of grass and hay with a little dose of citrus and resin, but a lot of hops altogether and a dash of sweetness as well. Light-bodied; Strong dry and grassy notes start out with some white grape juice and a dose of hay and flowers and a touch of lager yeast near the end. Aftertaste shows the pale grain, a dash of flowers and hay with a long-lingering dry and hoppy bite that shows some softer and very low alpha acid hops that seem like European or German than anything from America of the South Pacific. Overall, a decent beer at best that really tastes and feels like a lager with a touch of a hoppy and dry characterisitic, but nothing too pungent and quite mellow for any ale at all, especially a 'real' IPA or one that calls themselves one. I sampled this 350 mL can purchased a few minutes ago from Lawson's Natura in Daimon, Tokyo, Japan for 280JPY sampled a few minutes later in my hotel room here in Tokyo, Japan on 04-August-2019. La

Tap at Keyaki Spring 2019. Nose is lemon and ginger. Flavor more ginger, fruity lemon, bready malts. A bit like a soda pop. Hazy orange, flat. Too spiced up for my tastes.
