Tap at Gremlin after having it at Keyaki. Floury, wheaty, light sweetness, light fruitiness, light excitement. Yeasty. Second time, bit nicer. Sweetness is pleasant. Berries. Flour at the top again. Prefer it from a glass than plastic cup. What a surprise!

Bottle at a tasting, beers courtesy of Dusan & Simona. Very easy drinking, slightly fruity, slightly funky. Quite good, refreshing, thin bodied, well attenuated. Good one.

Poured whitish yellow, just a bit of foam. Not really strong aroma, maybe a bit of fresh hops over there, with usual Shiga Kogen grassiness. Does not feel very carbonated this time either - but I am very thirsty an fit goes down very fast. Perfect drinkability, not very complex but has some subtle yeast spice and hop bitterness going on in there. Finish turns dry and hop-bitter. Great gulper.

Pale golden color. No head. Nice light dry nose with pale malts and some subtle tropical fruit notes. Bone dry, hoppy, subtle hop character. Very approachable and quaffable. Balanced. Decent.

Bright golden, subtle hops, good balance with light pale malts. Subtle beer but good.

Spring Keyaki 2016. Grainy, grassy nose with some light lemon. Light bodied with average carbonation. Good crisp and clean quality on the palate. More grass and a bit of rice maybe. Maybe a bit too clean and becoming a tad boring...very similar to a pale lager. Pretty one-dimensional. Still would pair well with sushi for sure. --- Beer merged from original tick of Shiga Kogen Baby Blonde Miyama on 15 May 2016 at 13:35 - Score: 6

Tap at Keyaki. Pissy, grapefruit hop nose, honey. Clear gold with lace. Malty flavor, honey, biscuits, dank hops. Not quite as good as the regular, but very different hops, so interesting.

On tap at Bungalow after the beer fest. Crystal clear blonde with a fruity lemony wheat aroma. A crisp clean saison with a lemony crackery malt profile. Nice stuff.
