the beers of FUTENMA: Coed Kyara India pale lager

My buddy Hilgar asked me to find beer from Coedo brewery for him as it's not imported into the States yet, so I did (It's coming in the mail Chris), but I also got some for myself. I can't say I've had an India pale lager before, so this is probably going to be interesting.
The bottle is nice, it has gold lettering on the front label that says "Beer Beautiful" "COEDO kyara India Pale Lager Super Premium Japanese Craft Beer" and then has the word beer in eight languages. Behind the gold lettering is a brown label with the letters from the brewery's name "coedo" arranged in an interesting design that continues in glass on the neck of the bottle ending in a golden "coedo" crimpcap. Now let's pour it into the super traditional Orion mug and see how it heads.

The nose from the bottle is citrusy with the aroma of hopps, but also has the distinct smell of malt with a little note of cereal. It is not a particularly lively beer, I can say with honesty that this one truly has no head.Color is a sort of brown orange. It is rather opaque, with a few bubbles shimmering to the top like minnows is a silty lake. Nose is like the bottle, but not as pronounced. This beer is like drinking grapefruit and hopp juice, there is not a great deal of carbonation. It's a medium body, not very acidic at all, but just a bite for mouthfeel. I can't tell if it's supposed to be like this or not. On one hand, it's Japanese and that's kind of how some of their beers are, more of a feature than a fault. On the other, it's been in my secretary since before I went to Korea, but considering how cold I keep the room (you get black mold if you go over 21°C, yes that's 69°F but its always in the mid-80's outside, so that feels very cold) it should have been OK for a while. Allot of the guys on Rate Beer say it's head quickly dissipates, so if it did degrade a little, it's not like it had a great deal of carbonation to begin with. 

Youtube has brought me to some great music again. I had heard many of the songs of Nancy Sinatra before, but I never knew her name. Looking her up, She is like the look and sound of the 60's. Think of anything pop culture related during that decade, Nancy Sinatra embodies it. 

Well, out of beer. I would really like to have this beer again, but fresher this time. I didn't really get the lager part, but its a pretty good India pale. I give this beer my blurry seal of approval.
