On tap at Craft Beer Man, it pours a golden copper color with a citrusy hop bouquet. Medium bodied with a spicy citus IPA like flavor. Quite good, I am glad to see these guys bringing in more interesting stuff.

Ta at Marciero. Bright orange-amber with a low, fine head. Hoppy, Cascade-like nose, lemon, orange, caramel. Flavor is orange, strong caramel, toffee, some diacetyl, grass. Ok bitterness, rather sweet. More like an old-school American PA. OK, but uninteresting. Hard to call this an IPA today.

Draught at Kamikaze. Light hop nose, cascade, golden malts. Very nicely balanced and tasty, good drinking, clean. Very nice but not really special. A bit more bitterness would be good. Somewhat lager-like.

Draught at 1020. Cloudy, muddy brown with lace. Nice chocolate nose, spicy, low bananas. Flavors of chocolate, banana, other estery fruits, rich and round, with a slight tart edge. Very ice cake-like, grainy maltiness and the chocolate stood out more nad more as it warmed. Very nice.

Draught at the Ji-Beer Festa in Hiroshima, 2012. Medium amber, clear. Nice fruity caramel nose. Subtle. Nothuge but good. Crackery, bready malts, with caramel flavors, sweet, but a dry finish. Really well done and balanced beer.

Draught at Beer Belly Higobashi. Dark brown, close to black, with a fine, low head. Big smoky nose, solid malts, caramel and chocolate. Great smooth body, big and rounded, with wonderful balance. Great malts, very nice level of smoke—less than a classic Bamberger, but just a bit less. Grainy chocolate and some caramel, good level of sweetness, and a touch of tang. A wonderfully crafted beer with the right level of smoke for high drinkablilty. Excellent beer from the new leader in German-style beers in Japan.

cloudy golden color. Clovey with a touch of bananas. Mouth is not too balanced, a touch sour. Clovey finish. Decent, but not great.

cloudy amber color. Big clovey, banana nose. Thick mouth. Smooth. Very rounded, but a bit of a weird aftertaste which I didn’t care for/

Draught at BBS Osaka 2012. Rich, malty, biscuity nose with light hops. Crisp and malty flavor with medium bitterness and nice crackers. Light and clean, eminently drinkable. Great pils.

Draught at the 2nd Vine. Deep, almost glowing golden with orange and a high, fine head. Cloudy. Big wheat nose, with banana and light citrus, peach, clove, ripe mango. Complex and spicy. Sweet, full and rich. Lots of fruit flavors: citrus plus estery banana and peach and some tropical. Nice crisp finish. Really lovely nose as it warmed, with all the tropical complexity coming out. Cherry too. Full, big body with light spritzy carbonation. A great beer.
