A sansho white herb ale from Shimane. Tap at Bungalow. Opaque pale gold color with q dense eggshell white head of foam. Nice minty sansho and wheat aroma. Medium bodied and smooth. The taste is spicy wheat, lemon and sansho - damn this is spot on and ridiculously tasty. Combine a wheaty belgian wit with sansho and you get this. I heartily approve.

Bottle from Yamaoka. Big coriander nose, wheat, sansho, orange, a bit estery. PAle pastel gold with a thick, low head. Wheaty, biscuity flavor, crackers, oranges, sansho and coriander. Rather dry, spicy, interesting but a bit medicinal. Something not quite right, though not bad.
