Bottle. Dark amber to medium brown. Tall, fine head. Faint aroma, of fruit, amber malt, caramel. Good hops. Very fruity flavor, with cherries, a touch of caramel and chocolate. Medium sweetness. Slightly roasted, amber malt, overall impression is dry. Dry, malt and slight hop finish. Pretty nice. One of the better Japanese alt beers, though not up there with the best in Dusseldorf.
