Had again on tap at Mokichi AUG 2020. Light grassy hoppiness and nice floury wheatiness. Liked it more this time.
Bottle. Looked as you would expect. Taste is biscuity, lemon, grainy, bit like a shandy which was strangely welcome. Nice bitter finish. Aroma is lemony, hops. Nice and crisp.

Bottle shared with Kanagawa friends back in 2012. Light malt aromas with some pepper and grassy hops. Crackery malts with some light sweetness that moves towards pepper on the finish. Decent pils.

On tap at Ibaraki Bakuon. A very clear gold with a big soapy head of foam. A very crackery light malt aroma. The taste I’d the same with a green crisp bitter hops. A fairly clean pils.

Green bottle brought back from a friend’s trip to Japan: Cloudy pale orange color akin to peach juice, but a little darker, with a thin white head. Not much aroma, just a little sweet and malty. The flavor is startling at first sip; crisp florals, herbal, and bready. There is a little sweetness in the background from the malts, but overall a decent and crisp flavor profile.

Draught at Q-Brick. Deep, dark gold color. Huge noble hop aroma with cereal grains. Rich malt flavor with slight honey and caramel touch, biscuits, grassy hops, excellent bitterness. Low carbonation and smooth body. A lovely pils with great flavor, great hops, great cereals. Excellent. (Bottle from the Brewery (2009) 7/3/7/3/13. Dark golden color, with a touch of amber and a tall, creamy head. Malty aroma, pils-like, really. Buttery, with biscuits. Tangy, slightly fruity flavor, with big biscuity malts and a bit of honey, noticeable aroma and bittering hops. Decent balance, with a rather good, bitter finish. Clean and hoppy.)

Pours golden with a fizzy white head. Aroma is slightly sweet, and some hops. Gotta love that green bottle skunk. Body is sorta thin. Flavor is malt, some citrus, kinda bitter. Ends dry, and mildly bitter. Eh, probably won’t be having it again.

Golden color, mildly floral nose with a touch of honey. Very carbonated mouth, hop accented, but does have a solid malty backbone, with pineapple, apple and a touch of caramel. Dry mildly bitter finish.
