Tap at the brewery. Pale blond, very clear, big white head. Aroma grassy hops, some wheaty maltiness. Smells very fresh, maybe even a touch fruity. Taste is crisp and dry. Nice amount of wheat, satisfying bitter finish. Nice bit of hops. Very refreshing and thirst quenching. Nice. Liked it more than I expected!

Chateau Kamiya Helles 5% 500ml bottle just 700¥ from the brewery via Rakuten. Deep gold with a thick eggshell white head of foam that lingers and leaves tons of soap foam looking lacing behind. The aroma is a bitter earthy herbal hoppiness with some freshly risen bread sweet malt notes. Full bodied and dry. The taste is a bit too sweet in my opinion, sweet cornbread or tortilla flour then a dry herbal finish. Solid aroma but the taste was a letdown for me. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle, mail order from the brewery. Deep gold color with a tall head. Strong malty aroma, rather sweet, rich. Rich malt flavor, on the sweet side yet clean and relatively light. A touch of fruit, but mostly just rich malt. Very lightly hopped. Finish also is predominated by malt, with just enough hop to give it balance. Very clean and light for such a rich malt beer. Not wholly fascinating, but really well done and pleasant.

Clear golden color. Thick white head. This brew showed excellent malty breadiness through out with some toasted malt. Very good example of the style.

@ GJBF 2007. Pours hazy gold. Alright aroma of fruits, earth, and yeast. Body is a bit thin. Flavor is earthy, some grass, light citrus. Pretty decent if the flavor was more intense.
