Tap at CBM Jinbocho. Light amber colour with golden head. Aroma is full on resinous hops, sweet caramelly malt, bit of stink. Taste is nice, more mellow than smell suggests. Sweet and malty with just a hint of bitter and spiky hops. Very easy to drink. Can feel the booze but it is not in your face. Nice.

Tap at the Watering Hole. Amber brown. Small off-white head. Aroma is ultra skunky, cat pee, citrus hop. Also a bit roasty bit spicy. Taste is nice, less hoppiness, bit chocolate, some sweetness, bit of citrus at the finish. Nice!

One of Aqula's secret beers at Keyaki. Amber colour, small head. Aroma is grainy, sour cream, weird vege funkiness, pine, great. Taste is really good, malty, caramel, bit sharp and salty maybe. Really liked this.

Tap at Transit. Cloudy amber golden colour. Small off-white head. Aroma is big tropical fruit, mango, yeasty too. Taste is really good, wheaty but with real hop presence, tropical fruit again and real bitter bite. Sour creaminess too. Really good.

Tap at iBrew. Light amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is nice, NZ hops, fruity, peach bit of grapefruit. Taste is nice too, fruity again, nice bitter finish, bit of a spicy malty bite, but mostly hops. Exactly what I expected it to be.

Last beer of a long night, so who knows. Cloudy golden amber colour. Aroma extremely fruity. Grapefruit banana, tropical fruit and more fruits I have no idea about. Lots of banana and fruit with nice citrus element. Maybe a bit of sourness too. So much going on, and totally lovely. Would love to try this again. Tried it again Nov 2013. Still liked it a lot and thought the same things.

Tap at Takumiya. Hazy gold. Bit of fruit on the nose, not much. Airy, gassy flavor, light fruit, not much happening but a bit of grain. I hate this style.

Tap @ Beer Boy, Nakameguro. Hazy orange pour, some foam on the top. Nose is tropical, bit oaty, NE character is nice and strong. Sweet papaya. Taste is somewhat heavy, good fruits still, a bit harsh hop character perhaps but overall decent attempt on the style. Lingering grassy bitterness in the finish, relatively dry Better than I thought it would be.

very turbid, amber golden white color. Smell like orange juice with some white gummy bears.excellent mouth feel, low carbonation low medium bitterness, super smooth, very juicy. Excellent take on neipa --- Beer merged from original tick of Sennan NE IPA Tohoku Project 2019 on 27 Mar 2019 at 13:16 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7. Original review text: very turbid muddy brown golden white color. Doesn’t look that appealing. Lots of over ripe mangoes, citrus and white gummy bears in the nose. Fairly sweet. Fairly dank and juicy. Low carbonation but medium bitterness. Fairly full bodied. As it warms it’s a bit astringent
