Bottle shared at a tasting at troubles’s place. Thanks mom for this bottle! As Hida Korikori Yakedake. Hazy deep golden. Slightly sourish aroma with with malt, toast, vegetal notes, a fruity note, a dusty note, and a bit of caramel. Sweetish flavor with malt, a bit of toast, a caramel note, a tart touch, a fruity note, and a bit of slightly herbal bitterness in the finish. Light to medium-bodied.

Bottle from the brewpub. Dry, minerally aroma, light caramel, not very rich. Nice cloudy amber with a fine, low head. Light, dry flavor, caramel and minerals, quite surprising bitterness. A bit thin and watery, with a slight tang as well. Not all that good, and not enough malt for an alt. Dry and metallic.
