Kirin Ichiban, consistently terrible on draught
I've always loved Kirin Ichiban, typically only seeing it at japanese restraunts. For years had only had it out the bottle. Always have my eyes peeled for it on draught but it's rare. First time I had a pitcher of it, I realized it tasted way different. Huh, probably dirty lines or something. Next time at a different place a year later same thing. I walk into my local pub and see it on draft again and alas SAME THING. Am I crazy? Im in midwest USA btw. Normally its a very easy drinking, super light slight fruity drink (similar to a farmhouse ale like new glarus spcow) but on draught its like a bastardized version of itself that's too fruity and bitterness is either gone or overpowering
