Well this one was just clear and some bubbles within. Sparkling as they say. Yeast, basement, mild citric, fruity and rice. Hmmm good or bad? A lot better than usual and quite unusual refreshing. A bit oily texture. Well masked alcohol. Nah I do not think I will buy this one.
[On tap at Zwanze Day 2015. Blackbox in Grimstad, Norway]

From my sake backlog. On tap and bottled (rating is a compartment of several tastings) . Clear, very pale-yellow body with no head and sparkling carbonation. Aroma is quite distinct Sake with rice, yeast and mild fruit like apple and some citric. Flavor is refreshing citric fruity, hint of grapes, mild rice and yeast. Medium body and average aftertaste. This is a light and refreshing sake that’s probably a nice start for somebody that not familiar with the style. The aroma is quite distinct sake, but the flavor feels a bit like a refreshing white wine. But compared with a white wine side by side there is a big difference, then the Sake flavor becomes more distinct with less fruitiness and more rice/yest flavor. The balance between sweet and light acidity works well and the touch of alcohol feels just right. Delicate and nice.

Sampled during RB Raid over Rotterdam March 3rd 2018. Clear watery appearance, no head. Aroma is hard to describe: grainy and sweet at the same time. Flavor is sort of the same: a bit grainy, sweetish. Hard to describe better. I find it to be ok.

Draught @ Olutravintola Pikkulintu, Klaavuntie 11, Helsinki, Finland 00910.
