Draught at the brewpub. It’s call ume--plum, since plum is the third of the auspicious plants for the Japanese new year--Pine, Bamboo, and plum. It tasted like plum as well, though the bartender said their weren’t any in it! Nice, spicy aroma of plums. Dark orange-brown color. Thinner flavor of ume and spice, caramel. Decent taste, though the flavor doesn’t live up to the nice nose. Strong bitterness in the finish. Their best beer today.
