Tap at Gremlin. Pale blonde, light cloudiness. Aroma is grainy, wheat, raspberry, apricot. Taste is good, little yoghurt, fruity berries and light citrus. grainy again, quite spritzy. Good stuff. Preferred the Hajimemashite but this is still my kind of beer.

On tap at watering hole. Cloudy straw color with a modest soapy white head that hangs around a little. Clove, coriander and lemon all over the nose. Slightly tart and salty on the palate and very refreshing. I’m getting some yuzu, pepper and lemon as far as taste goes. Finish I’d crisp, dry, salty and refreshing. Very gose-like on the finish. I prefer this to hajimemashite all day. More beers like this in Japan please. Absolutely great!

Hazy yellow milky white color. Tart citrusy nose with some sansho. I am guessing Yuzu and sansho. Super light body, slightly tart. Well balanced. Highly refreshing. Nice lingering citrusy finish. Wow, fantastic beer to drink on a hot summer day. Excellent

Himitsu is Kyoto Brewing Co.’s collaboration with Luc Bim LaFontaine. On tap at Bungalow. It’s a cloudy pale gold in color with a creamy white head of foam. The nose is a wheaty lemon with clove notes. Zesty lemon and spicy cloves with a very dry finish on a light body. Think a spritzy wheat beer with a dose of lemon seltzer. Very easy to drink though I want a bit more body. I’m not sure if Bungalow followed the requested CO2 levels the brewery set though... ----2nd timer also at Bungalow---- Himitsu which I’ve learned is a Gose? The nose is coriander, white pepper and maybe some citrus. Very zesty body, the taste is earthy sweet a bit tart or sour with citrus and salt in the finish. Knowing the style actually makes me enjoy it more. Good stuff.
