Keyaki. Red brown colour, small gold head. Aroma is very floral, bit of citrus too. Taste is similar, citrus, but more booze than the nose, tripel like. Bit of a kick. Nice though.

Bottle at the GJBF Osaka 2014. Not that red actually an amber brown. The nose is VERY juicy orange, it is highly carbonated, sharp mouthfeel. Kind of bitter, orange, grapefruit, coriander, some lemon or lemon verbana. A mouth-puckering chalky finish. Good but not my cup of tea, this was too spicy for me. I am glad I tried this at the fest as a bottle retails for like 20$ and I don’t think it is worth that hefty price tag.

Bottle to plastic cup at Keyaki. Very spicy nose, sansho all the way, estery, peaches. Sweet and smooth flavor, huge spices and some oxidation. The sansho pepper takes over everything and quickly gets super irritating, making me wish I hadn’t paid for this at all. Didn’t work for me, especially at this ridiculous price. Take out about 80% of the sansho and it might be decent.
