Can. Fuzzy sort of mild hoppiness and yeast aroma. Thin orange-brown color, no lace. Light malt flavor and light hopping. Aftertaste is yeasty and diminishes quickly. Medium body. Weak, thin. Definitely in the British style, but even milder than those.

KyotoLefty (3760) - Kyoto, JAPAN - MAY 20, 2012
Can from Yamaya. Very cool can. Earthy, fruity hop nose, cherry, grass, caramel. Amber-brone with an enormous head (carried in my backpack...) spicy hop flavor, bitter and peppery, fruity, with chocolate more than caramel, cherry. Quite English in hopping. Nice balance, tasty enough, though not much spunk.

UPDATED: MAY 19, 2012 Gonna put this one here. In cans as India Pale Ale. 6%. Great find in my local conbini. Lovely clear amber/auburn colour. Head dies quickly. Very soft beer. Some metal, cabbage (?!), flowers on the nose. Thinnish with mainly toffee malt and a soft bitter finish. A little underwhelming but perfectly drinkable.

TimE (2068) - Tokyo, JAPAN - MAR 10, 2007
Dark amber color, thick off white head. Apples, orange pekoe nose that seems to be a mix of American and English hops. Mouth is well balanced, lightly carbonated, apples, oranges, but not strong hop character. Finish is mildly aggressive, but then becomes dry and malty. Not bad, but kinda plain - much like other beers from these guys.
