Kyoto 6 Journeys Czech IPA : Appearance
Poured out a slight hazy golden straw colour – was the haze from the beer being chilled or was it deliberate from Kyoto Brewing Company? Head was a thin white layer though that faded fast to leave just a few bubbles around the edge of the glass.
Kyoto 6 Journeys Czech IPA : Aroma
Berry and floral aroma from the get-go – interesting note of hop aromas and not your usual IPA aroma. A light citrus aroma permeated through as the beer warmed up – balanced nicely but very mixed nose.
Kyoto 6 Journeys Czech IPA : Taste
Peculiar – starts off with a light to medium bitterness that opens up to some citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit. Berry like aroma – raspberry or strawberry, not quite sure – permeates through a light sweetness of pilsner like body. Bitterness hangs around until the end of drinking.
Kyoto 6 Journeys Czech IPA : The Bottom Line
Mixed feelings about this one – I liked it, but its unusual in both aroma and taste.
