Nice! That interesting plastic kind of hoppy taste that I like but describe so unappealingly. Some sharpness, bit of soapiness. Not so wheaty, but there’s a body in there. Nice. Sharp

Tap @ Craft Beer Bar Marciero, Osaka. Cloudy orange pour, some nice white foam there. Better than I thought, clearly Shiga Kogen, good hoppiness and quite smooth. Not much left from a weizen, maybe a few cloves and wheaty overall feel. Tasty experiment.

Tap at Takumiya. Very pale yellow, very cloudy, with lace or almost none actually. Big juicy citrus nose, funky, somewhat weird, grapefruit zest and pith and more tropical fruit as it warmed. Flavor us a bi of floury wheat, zest, tropical fruit, yet it is a bit too astringent as well. It got mellower and fruitier as it warmed, and thus much better.

I think the version I had was brewed at Shiga Kogen... tap at Marciero Shiga Koga Okite Yaburi 5.5% IBU 23 Cool milky gold color with a peppery mango yoghurt aroma. Crisp light body with soda bread and candyish notes. The taste is bitter sweet tarts candied notes. Solid good looking brew. Apparently it’s an India Pale Weizen which explains the spice and Brett saison like notes.

Looks like a banana milk shake. Very odd burnt bananas in the nose. Smells over antenuated. Banana are everywhere. Confused, but not poorly made. Banana creampie lingers. Thick. Don’t know what this wants to be.
