Tap at Molto. Brilliant golden color, clear, low head. Smoky nose with pale malts. Lovely smoke and hop character, clean malts, crisp and pilsner-like. Smoky, very drinkable. The best beer they’ve made recently.

6% on tap at Ibaraki Bakuon, I am glad to see breweries making more releases. They also had a black bitter. This poured a light opaque gold with a centimeter of thick creamy looking foam. Odd for a rauch but it has a nice smokey aroma with a hint of berry fruitiness. Medium bodied with a rough mouthfeel. The taste is pretty decnt - bitter smoke and berries with light maltiness and lingering smokiness. Interesting and alright.
