Bottle from Yamaoka. This is a fruit beer made with citrus bankan fruit, served in a half-pint glass. A cloudy orange-yellow that brings pineapple juice to mind. The aroma is of a thick citrus rind at first then some zestier fruit elements. Medium to light bodied with a seltzer like carbonation and an earthy/woodsy citrus that has an orange and lime character. Tangy citrus and some soda-bread malt character rounds out the beer for another solid fruit beer from Hideji, they rarely knock these out of the park but they also usually deliver solid flavor.

Tap at Oedo. Nice bankan citrus fruit nose with pale German lager malts in the background. Citrus flavor is a bit too sharp, though, with almost overwhelms the lovely background.

very clean, almost non-existent nose. Very rounded, slightly tart mouth, slightly citrusy. Very low bitterness. Fuller body. Not bad but not sure where it’s going
