Tap @ Tsukuba Craft Beer House. Pours deep ruby red with nice frothy pink head. Looks like they used cassis in this beer (and they actually did, heh-heh). Fruity sweetish nose, actually getting some gummy bears and light tart cassis character. Taste is fruity, not that much recognizably cassis but tart and delicious. Malty body still, refreshing to a degree, somewhat sweetish but some light bitterness balancing it out. Perhaps not in the greatest balance but not badly done beer.

Tap at the Star Board Tap Room. Pretty deep purple color. Great, juicy cassis nose, lots of berry richness, but not all that beery. Sweet, yet not overly so. Fruity, a rather bit seedy finish and bitterness. Good fruit drink, not all that beer-like.

On tap at Brewpub Starboard. Z Cassis Beer, 5% 10 IBU, which poured a deep purple with a vivid pink head. A waxy tart cassis aroma tantalized my olfactory sense. Scrappy carbonation and a lush vinous wine like tartness. Really interesting, it reminds me of Minoh’s Cabernet Ale. I liked it, easy drinking.
