Isekadoya Pale Ale

Brewed by Isekadoya
Style: American Pale Ale
Ise, Mie Prefecture, Japan

Excellent appearance - pale copper/orange with a thick creamy offwhite head and excellent lacing. Aroma of grassy and resin hops, some bakery scents and caramel. Flavor is mild, with caramel malt and some citrus hops in the finish. Unique beer that I would try again.

50cl Bottle@ mondial de la biere Strasbourg. Disappointing nose. Pale gold in color. American pale stile. Light not so clean spicy nose. Bitter sharp tase, a bit harsh resinous and lingering. Dry hay. Thin mouthfeel

50cl bottle. Large off-white head atop hazy light amber body. Aroma is moderately sweet, orange/floral, light grapefruit, honey, bread. Taste is medium sweet, orange/grapefruit, some straw, light bread, honey. Light-medium body, light acidity. Tasty APA -- were it at SNPA prices, i’d surely buy it again.

Draught at Popeye, Tokyo. Cloudy amber - white head. Grape fruity, pineapples, light yeasty, bitterness, light pilsner malty, fresh hoppy, light honey sweetness.

Bottle… Hazy golden ale with a large, frothy, off-white head. Fantastic retention. The aroma is floral and sweet – caramelized grains and honey. Medium to full-bodied with gentle carbonation. Sweet, floral essence of orange blossom honey is nearly balanced by metallic hop bitterness – nickel and/or iron. Mid-length, bittersweet finish with a metallic tinge on the outside and back of my tongue. A big SHOUT goes out to dmschefke for providing this unique beer!

Bottle shared by Robert at SL, what a guy! The pour was pale with a hay-straw type color. The aroma was corney, some piney type hops. The flavor was metallic, watery, oxidized, corn-lager like. Odd for a pale ale, travelled not well? Dunno. The mouthfeel was light and not very clean.

Draught at Eni-bru, Osaka. Clear golden, small head. Fresh citric nose. Mid-dry and light-medium bodied. Crystallic and caramelly backdrop to citric yuzy hops. Drinkable and freshening aromatic US style pale ale with medium bitterness.
