AKA "Monkey IPA" on cask pump at Beer Belly Temma in Osaka.
Cloudy golden with a thin, semi-durable white head.
Aroma: fruity and plenty hoppy
Flavor: follows; slightly mild bitterness for style. Hoppy notes of citrus and other tropical fruits. Faint light bread; grapefruit in the aftertaste.
Medium-light body with light carbonation.
Overall: recommended.

Yuzu-like citrus and resiny pine comprise the main aroma in play. A slight hint of grainy malt toward the back end, otherwise this smells like a typical easy drinking IPA.

Aroma is well-mirrored on the palate, although the citrus isn't quite as prominent as one would want it to be. There's a smooth biscuity malt interlude after the citrus, which is followed by a nice pine-y bitter finish. Deceptively easy drinking for a 6% IPA.

Medium light-bodied teetering toward light; minimal carbonation makes this a refreshing treat after the 1km walk I had to walk to get here from Makiochi station. I will definitely be taking some of this back home.
