Tap at Cafe De Tete. Copper red Amber colour, little bit of fruitiness, orange, light bitterness. Everything quite subdued, but nice enough. Aroma has a bit of caramel.

On tap at Kamikaze. Haikei Ogenki sama desu is a Swan Lake Nakayoshi Beer collaboration. Nakayoshi are a contract brewery made up of several Japanese beer bars. This Amber Rice Lager pours a semi clear amber brown with a malty sweet bready aroma with possibly just a hint of fruits. Fairly light bodied with a sweet dry finish. The taste is a bit fruity, earthy and nutty with a candy sweet malty finish. Interesting but a bit too light bodied for my taste.

Tap at Q-Brick. Rice amber ale. Amber-orange-brown color with a fine head. Nose is clean, some caramel, low hops. Clean malt flavor, caramel, lightly grassy hop. Clean and tasty but less than interesting.
