Nice! Malty, low carb, lemon and other citrus fruitiness. Some kind of light funkiness in a pleasant way. Very interesting!

Tap at Japan Brewer's Cup 2019. Rich malt, big yet subtle Amarillo hops. Lovely peach and orange notes, with a bit of caramel and lots of rich, biscuity malt. Very subtle, smooth, lovely. This doesn't awe in the first sip, but just gets better with each taste. Great decoction mash, an Amarillo-hopped polotmavy really. Excellent.

Very clean dry minerally with banana and apricot. Low medium bitterness. Very clean dry finish. Excellent take on the style

Another new brewery, this one’s from Toyama and appears to be into Czech style brews. Kobo Brewery 3A Lager Clear amber orange with a wispy head and a toasty biscuit plus malt caramel aroma. Medium to full bodied with a rich grainy character and lots of chewy malts then crisp fruity lager. This is a tasty brew, not a super wow beer but one you’d go through pints of on a regular basis. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
