Amber body under nice creamy head. Nose is a balance of hoppy grasses, with some grapefruit and herbs. Taste is a softening of many things into one, the up front columbus hops make this a bit herby and less biting than the Teikoku IPA. Nice brew.

Draught at Baird Naka-Meguro Taproom. Hazy amber, creamy head. Rich grapefruit aroma. Mid-sweet with celan mouthfeel and solid body. Generously hoppy, lots of perfume and grapefruit. Lingering potent bitterness. A throughly well made IPA.

Draught at the Nakameguro Taproom. Single hop; strong Columbus aroma. Fruity, with citrus and honey malt. Great hop aroma and good bitterness. Really good balance, with great hops hitting on all 8 cylinders. Well done.

Light amber color. Big citrusy, aromatic nose that shows off this wonderful hop beautifully. Bitter finish. Bold and beautiful, no wonder the hop is an American classic.

Copper amber with a large head. Floral, citrus, light sweet malts- very nice aroma. Very smooth body. Light bitterness. Some floral tones and a malty finish. Light bitterness in the end. This is a very refreshing and quite sessionable IPA. One of the best of the festival, I thought. (IPA festival at Nakameguro)
