Bottle from Furusato Nozei. Nose is slightly herbal, lemony, golden malts with a touch of honey. Seems possibly ale-like with some esters. Cloudy deep golden color with a thick, low head. Creamy, breddy malts, rich and a bit sweet but not too much, more lager character now. Quite rich and chewy malts, actually, and the tea which is supposed to be in there blends well with the hops for an herbal, noble spiciness. Body is full, slightly heavier than I would like. Slightly metallic in the finish. Not all that distinctive but not so bad at all.
