A session IPA, made by Kirin, big business comes up with a craft once a year or so. Remember back in 2016 when the craft thing kind of started its boom, was quite impressed with the variety and their quality. Now after a couple years, having had the fortune to try the very best from all over the world, I do not find Japanese craft (or the commercial craft) too attractive anymore but let’s not get into that too much this time. Let me just conclude that although this beer is quite well made, it misses the originality, individuality and a real taste. It is kind of sour and had a kind of aftertaste. It might only be me but I’d rather stick with Founders or the like when it comes to session IPAs...
