Tap at Taigu in 2018. Two Rabbits 25 IBU Thirsty Fox Sunset Lager 5.5% A lovely orange red in color with a light beige cream colored foamy top. The aroma is bready and fruity while the beer is medium to light bodied. The finish is kind of sharply carbonated and ultra dry a bit too much do for me but I’d say it’s pretty much to style for an amber lager. The flavor is bready, lightly toasty sweet malts, a bit crackery and fruity. Tasty, I’m quibbling but I’d prefer a softer body/finish. Maybe some of the brewers/beer judges who follow KBL can chime in as to the characteristic mouthfeel/body of an amber lager...

Nice. Malty, easy going. Second time round, not many more notes, 'Light spice, decent stuff'

Tap at Takanoya. Clear red. Malty, toasty nose, some caramel. Very toasty and clean lager fermentation, caramel. Crisp malt. Good stuff.
