Tap at SBV Kyoto. Medium brown color, clear. Nice chocolate malt nose, caramel, hojicha in the right proportion. Malty though not thick or heavy, somewhat sweet, the tea showing up a bit more than the hops, in a somewhat classic English brown. Decent.

Spring Valley Brewery Houjicha Brown Ale 4.5% Bottle picked up at SVB KYOTO(450 yen). Orange-brown in color with a light beige head and the aroma is caramel biscuits with chocolatey houjicha. It’s not bad and kind of reminds me of a houjicha latte I had once. As you drink it, it does get a bit too sweet.
