Draught at the Ichinoseki Beer Fest 2017. big, uicy, fruity hop nose. Orange, mango, peaches, very tropical. Nice. Cloudy, juicy dark orange color. Thin, juicy flavor. Nice fruitiness, but the malt richness and body suffer a bit too much from the low abv. A bit thin. Tasty, though, for such a low alcohol ipa.

turbid amber white color. Dry nose with modest amount of Belgian yeast and citrus notes. Modest bitterness, nice Belgian yeast notes, but not really outstanding in any way. Lingering yeast in the finish, but lacks bitterness. Probably made at Aqula with this level of quality.

Tap at Osaka Beer Fes 2017. Rich, somewhat intrusive black rice nose, caramel, light roast. Smells muddy and nasty. No hops apparent. Rich and grainy flavor is better than the nose but this interesting experiment does not work. 6/3/7/3/13
