Bottle at Shinshu Sake Mura. Low carbonation but enough to keep the feel interesting. Aroma is not so strong, but fruit dominated. Maybe this is a bit cold. Taste is more hoppy than wheaty. Quite surprised. Grassy, citrus, orange, light tropical stuff. malt pokes through. Caramel increases as it warms. Pretty refreshing. Nice.

Bottle from Tanakaya. Nice clear light golden color with a almost no head. Aromas of orange and grapefruit are fairly strong. Slightly watery mouthfeel with a medium to light body. Soft carbonation. Taste is all citrus with orange really standing out. Very refreshing on a summer day. Nice bitterness with a dry finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of Shiga Kogen Wheat Ale on 28 Jun 2015 at 21:26 - Score: 7

Looks like this one is back out of retirement. On tap at Beer Komachi. An opaque golden pour with a fruity hop nose, very American Wheat like. Medium bodied with a raspy carbonation. The tasty has a prickly earthy bitterness & a fruity character to it. Not really wheaty but a tasty beer.

Sweet malts, fruit and light floral notes come through in the aroma. Flavor is a bit more fruity, floral, with light hoping. Decent but not amazing.

Draught at Craft Beer Bar, Yokohama (4.5%) Cloudy pale amber. Hoppy grapefruit and passion fruit aroma. Mid sweet with medium body and chewy wheat crackers. Very drinkable with aromatic. citrichops drives it. Like an APA based on wheat.

Light copper color, hoppy fragrance with citrus, some caramel, and a touch of banana and spice. Flavor of grapefruit, caramel, light but flavorful malts, mostly barley I would guess, and some wheat. Light, hoppy, crisp and clean, though not a whole lot of flavor overall. A decent hot-weather beer. Hop and citrus finish is very pleasant. Great summer refresher.

Rating from memory, but had 2 pints yesterday. American wheat. More hop are used in the aroma and it is somewhat fruity. Body is light and balanced and has a refreshing finish. Not overly complex, but fairly nice for the style.
