Tap at Imazato. Nose of pine, caramel. Quite old school. Dark amber. Pine and caramel, rather high carbonation. Ok but not much happening here.

Tap at Imazato in Osaka. A deep reddish brown with a stone fruit and pine hop bouquet. Medium bodied, raspy mouthfeel and semi-dry finish. The taste is spicy rye malt, fruity hops and caramel. Solid.

Tap at Imazato. Lightly funky yeast nose, cranberry, bread. Deep orange-golden color with a low head. Nice tartness, a bit heavy on the malt, full. Yeast not so interesting.

Tap at Imazato. A milky Amber orange with a medium body snd zesty carbonation. I get tartness, coriander, wheat dust, hon s of coriander. Not terribly saison or cranberry but it’s alright though I expected more for a beer of which only one keg made it to Japan.

I’m pretty sure this is a bottle imported in the 2015 Halloween season. A dark black with a thick beige head. It’s got a really good roasty doughy chocolate bun aroma. Medium bodied, it’s got a raspy carbonation and a rich roasty chocolate with nutty notes. A good fall brew with a Halloween name so a nice alternative to spicy pumpkin ales.

Bottle from Mitsuya Liquors. Pours a deep copper with a finger of head. Loads of caramel and orange in the nose, but the malt really takes over as it warms. I get malt candy (gobstoppers) all over the nose. Almost like a malt shake. Some light cardboard and light funkiness in the background (slight brett issue I assume). Probably not in the best condition honestly. Malty finish. Meh. --- Beer merged from original tick of C-Note on 27 Aug 2016 at 22:24 - Score: 6. Original review text: It's not bad, big definitely old school PNW styled IPA....boozy to boot. Meh.

This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a slight hazy burnt orange to off sort of brown color. Slim finger’s white foamy head starts and dissipates at a nice pace. Messy lace occurs as the head dissipates.
The smell starts off with a sly citrus hoppiness. Subtle pine notes glide into a sweet malt base. Somewhat dry, with a sticky hoppiness coming in.
The flavor takes in all of the previously mentioned flavors sliding together sweetly. Bitterness shows a sly \"oomph\" slyly and riding on into the finish (kinda sticky).
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body. Fair sessionability to it. Sly carbonation.
Overall, very nicely done AIPA, I could see myself coming back to this.
