Tap at the brewpub. Weird one. Lots of caramel initially but then becomes more fruity, cherry. But alright. Judging by previous ratings, I think it must have improved, but maybe not so much.

Tap at the brewpub. Copper-orange, hazy, with lace. Fruity nose, orange and ripe apicots, candy, bit of caramel. Tangy flavor, over ripe stone fruit, a bit of citrus, light body. A bit too thin and not quite right.

On tap at the brewpub/nanobrewery. They started brewing in the August and had their Ninomiya Funk Ale on when I went, unfortunately their Shiroinon White Ale was sold out. The Ninomiya poured a pretty lightly opaque orange-gold with a butterscotch hoppy nose. The taste is diacetyl & lemon on a med-light body. One of their first batches but they need to take care of that diacetyl & up the hops to deliver a solid pale ale. An early effort and I wish them well but I think he needs a better mentor than Kibidote...
