Tap at LBK Craft in Nara. Okuyamato Beer Herbal Ale 5% My first beer from these guys. Matte gold with a wispy white head and a an orange peel and spice aroma (coriander/lemongrass). Fairly full bodied, it’s got a semi-dry finish and a slightly sharp carbonation. Sweetly floral with wheat, orange and spices. It’s very refreshing but the floral character does get a bit cloying.

Tap at the Nara Craft Beer Festival 2018. Golden color with a light haze. Nose is Belgian yeast spice, herbs and lemon, lemon grass, crackery malt. Flavor is dominated by citrus and herbal notes, light crackery malt, some sweet biscuit too. A bit on the thin, crisp side, and the additives are surprisingly well managed and balanced except for a touch of astringency in the finish. I quite enjoyed it, though I would kick it up to 6-6.5% for a richer experience.
